Congratulations Jennifer!!!
Congratulations Jennifer! You were awesome and you will be a huge asset to the Guthrie School Board.
I am surprised that it it was not mentioned in this article that this school board race had the highest voter turn out in the state of Oklahoma, for just having a school board election on the ballot. It was made very clear that the people’s voices were heard, loudly.
I look forward to seeing you at the next Guthrie School Board meeting.
