I have known Jackie Pendergrass for 25 years. She is a committed, selfless advocate for children, as evidenced by her many years of working as a school volunteer, PTSA leader, and 20 year Lake Washington School Board member. The district is very well managed, is fiscally sound and enjoys good working relationships with teachers and support staff.

It takes dedication to work for 20 years to ensure students have a learning environment that encourages individual success.

Jackie’s opponent is an attorney looking for a spring-board to a political career. He has served on one district subcommittee, has no children in the district, and has not attended a single school board meeting. The choice to support Jackie Pendergrass for Lake Washington School Board is an easy one.
