Anderson provided the following statement on her Facebook campaign page:
| “ | As I reflect on the multiple chapters of my life: life-changing events, interactions with people, and unplanned opportunities; I can see God's glorious plan for me to be a School Board Member. I do not understand why. I can relate to Moses in Exodus 3:10 when he pleaded with God regarding his confidence in himself. Although I do not know the "why," I do know that all good things come from God. And if this is from God, it will be good![1][3] | ” |
