Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I will support Mari Gibbs for the school board seat coming up on the Nov. 8th election for the following reasons:

Mari provides educational excellence due to the fact that Mari has a Doctorate degree in education. This degree specializes in curriculum and instruction. Mari is also a national speaker for children with neurological disabilities. This show’s Mari’s compassion for helping children with special needs and all children in general. Mari Gibbs embraces conservative family values which include the love and stability of family, country and God.

I attended a forum on Oct. 17 at Emmaus Baptist Church which featured a question-and-answer session with candidates Dr. Mari Gibbs and Lorraine Forrest. If you are forthright, it was no contest. Mari’s education, intellect, work experience and passion for helping children is unparalleled. A vote for Mari Gibbs is a vote for the children of Mathews County.
