Stockburger provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Whatcom County:[4]
|
" As the only parent of Bellingham School District students serving on the School Board, I offer a unique perspective to my fellow directors and the superintendent. And although we represent all residents of our district, I have a calling to speak up for those who are traditionally under-represented. If re-elected to the Bellingham School Board, I pledge that I will listen to the voters, and listen to our children; and I will do my best to represent all of you, all of the time. Thank you for your support and your vote." |
