Update 8/11/08

It is over. We were successful. Unopposed, I have been Re-Elected.

Since only incumbents were qualified to be on the ballot, an election is not necessary and so will be cancelled saving Ocean View School District & Taxpayers somewhere between $46,000 - $87,000 in much needed money as we continue to suffer the fiscal pains of operating without an adopted California State Budget.

Thank you to everyone who gave, assisted & endorsed this successful re-election campaign.
