Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I am writing to you today in support of Karen Espinoza for our Petsworth District School Board nominee. I have known the Espinozas for almost a decade now. I have had the pleasure and privilege of walking beside Mrs. Espinoza in many roles.

She has always had a heart for our county and, more specifically, its youth. She has been active in many ministry endeavors locally as well as founding and maintaining an outreach program designed to empower and support not only women in our community, but also our youth.

Mrs. Espinoza has taken a stand against bullying and made it a mission to uplift and empower women and youth of all ages. Mrs. Espinoza has decades of experience running and managing a small business, feeding into our community and volunteering her time for worthy causes.

I endorse Karen Espinoza for the Petsworth District School Board.
