Peterson is right choice for school board | Letters

As I look outside my window watching the wind blow leaves across the green grass, I know that another season is right around the corner. I know that no matter how much I wish for summer to stay, I can’t stop winter from arriving. I also know that unlike the weather, there are some things I can change. While I wait for my favorite postman, Marty, to bring my voters ballot, I would like you to consider how you want your voice to be heard.

Do you want to be part of the approximately 30 percent of King County residents to voice their opinions? I sure hope so. I also hope that while you are contemplating which box to check, that you would consider one name in particular: Danny Peterson for Federal Way School Board.

It isn’t often that someone of his caliber runs for political office. Danny has the education: bachelor’s in neurobiology from University of Washington and master’s degree in teaching from Seattle Pacific University. He has the experience in leadership: associate pastor of Grace Church, graduate of Advancing Leadership program, teacher, and he has led humanitarian trips to foreign countries. These qualities are what make leaders effective and change possible.

Not everyone can have Marty as their postman, but everyone can have Danny Peterson as their elected Federal Way School Board member.
