Well...it is official...I am running for school board. I am finishing my website today...visit it at kristynielsen.com. I opened my bank account last week and have my sign designed. I was even offered use of one of those programs that automatically calls and plays a recording. So I just have to create a brief message and it will call all the voters in Antioch telling them who I am and that they should vote for me. I will be ordering signs next week and have window signs for cars that I have to print up next week. Had my first interview by the teacher's union last week and a meeting with Dr Simms, superindendent. They have a round-table set up for Oct 1st that will be taped and broadcast throughout the month on the contra costa tv channel. They did a write up in the Antioch Press about all the candidates and quoted me in it. Not sure what my chances of winning are but it will definately be an interesting experience just running. Hannah took several pictures of me for me to use on my website. This is one I really liked although didn't use it for my website. I rarely have descent photos of myself because I am usually behind the camera. Many of you will be getting emails next week with all my info to forward on to others that you know that live in Antioch. It is all about name recognition...how many people have heard your name mentioned...kind of crazy that it is not so much about what you will do for the school board.
