Other candidates might look more qualified on paper, but Aanna Taft’s heart and soul are better for our district.

As a 30-year retired teacher from the Ocean Beach School District, I’ve done my homework. And I know what’s at stake.

Anna Taft will not ban books.

Anna Taft will work with, not against, the teacher’s union.

Anna Taft will always put our kids first.

Anna Taft grew up on the peninsula. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for her, so she knows firsthand the importance of working in ways to ensure every child’s success. Anna’s oldest child graduated from the OBSD, and her youngest is in the freshman class. She is deeply invested in our schools, and in our community.

I am asking all my former students, their parents, and everyone who stops to look beyond paper credentials, to vote for Anna Taft.

It’s not too late to register to vote in this election. You can do it online today at olvr.votewa.gov.

Yes, your vote is important. Be a part of Anna Taft’s re-election.
