LETTER: Broussard Is The Right Choice For School Committee

Dear Editor,

I would like to express my support for Julie Broussard as a candidate for Wilmington School Committee. I have known Julie for almost 10 years and we have been neighbors now for over 4 years. I know she would be a great addition to the School Committee.

First of all, Julie is a great person and friend. She is smart, energetic and has a high sense of values. She always gives 110% to everything she does. She is always one to step up and become involved when help is needed. I truly could not think of a better person to assist in shaping the future of our school system.

Julie is also a fantastic mom and her family means everything to her. Julie volunteers at her local church's religious education program, which is just one example of her commitment to her daughter and to the other children of Wilmington.

I have also been able to witness Julie as a passionate leader. I first met Julie when we were both members of a local chapter of Mothers and More. Julie was elected co-leader of our chapter and I was able to see her ability to be a strong listener and negotiator. She had a positive influence on the group both as a leader and a member. She even volunteered to contribute to the national office of the chapter.

Wilmington is very fortunate to have someone like Julie volunteering to make our town an even better place to live and send our kids to school. As a proud mother of two children in Wilmington Public Schools, I will be casting my vote for Julie Broussard on April 30 and I encourage you to do the same.
