Dear Friends,

 

As we enter into the last few days of campaigning prior to the June 8th election day, I want to thank you and the many, wonderful, supportive people who  have made the Campaign to Elect Wally Holbrook possible. In some ways it seems like yesterday, as we huddled together under cold rainy skies at the old Hell’s Bend Schoolhouse.

 

We proclaimed that by working “together” our students will thrive and not just survive and that I wanted to provide the leadership necessary to come together around our children and education in Lake County. I asked for your help in becoming the next Lake County Superintendent of Schools. You and many others stepped forward and volunteered your precious time and resources to plan and organize a campaign that was, and still is positive, participatory, inclusive, student focused and fun!

 

Together we have:

  • Hosted over thirty small community gatherings in all parts of our county.
  • Gathered over one thousand “in lieu of fee” signatures.
  • Participated in seven forums and debates.
  • Organized numerous dances, wine tastings, and BBQ’s.
  • Met with service clubs, organizations and senior centers.
  • Knocked on almost a thousand of our neighbors’ doors.
  • Called thousands of our friends on the phones.
  • Walked in three parades and served ice cream on a sunny day.
  • And together we laughed and danced!

 

Your dedication and personal commitment allowed us to model how we can work together in the future for the benefit of our children.

 

Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your commitment to education in Lake County.

 

Please don’t let up these last few days; call your friends and remind them to vote; take a shut-in to the polls; make calls from lists we can provide you.

 

…And then please join me in Kelseyville at Guido’s Pizza Tuesday evening (Election Day) to celebrate the end of a campaign and the beginning of new leadership in education in our county.

 

Thanks!

To the Citizens of Lake County, California:

 

The goal of education from kindergarten through high school is to graduate students with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace and higher education. Budget cuts, teacher layoffs, canceled courses, and more student dropouts threaten achievement of that goal.

 

If elected, within the first 100 days I will review all finances and services of the Lake County Office of Education with school districts and community members. Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan for student success, and we will implement that plan with support from the County Office of Education.

 

My wife Linda and I live in Kelseyville. We have been married for 38 years. We have three grown children and one grandchild.

 

I have worked in education for 35 years. I was a teacher and assistant principal in Vacaville, and then a principal in Kelseyville. I then served as superintendent in three school districts: Kelseyville, Winters and Dixon. I now coach new school superintendents throughout northern California.

 

I have the proven ability to lead, support and administer, and to form successful partnerships among the schools, parents and community to provide quality education to our youth.

 

Thank you for your support and your vote of confidence,

 

Wally Holbrook
