I have ordered the yard signs and should have them by the end of next week.  If you are willing to put one in your yard let me know.

Well as of today I am officially a candidate for the Jordan School District (West) Pct. 6.

It was an interseting experience. I had to swear (with my right hand raised) that I was a US citizen, registered to vote, live in the area that I would be electd from and plan to continue living there during my term. 

I now will start organizing my committee and preparing flyers and signs. The first sign of course will go in my yard.  That will be weird to see my name on signs in people’s yards. I hope to be able to draw on support from other families who are tired of lip service and want to do what ever is best for our children. I have a vision of a school board that is very responsive to the needs of our consituents. One that cares more about our kids than egos. I plan to talk plainly and directly. I want to be a voice of a parent who is in the trenches not one who was there 10 plus years ago.

Well it will be official Friday. I have decided to throw my hat in the ring. I will be running for the Jordan School District School Board. I am setting up my campaign committee very soon. If any of you are interested in helping out please contact me by commenting to this post or emailing me at ken@duckworthfamily.org.

Well as many of you know politics has been a long time passion for Ken. After years of behind the scene work the time is comming for me to step up and practice what I preach to the scouts in my Citizenship merit badge classes. I am going to run for office so that I can hopefully make a difference. I have resigned my seats on the SRMS PTSA executive board so that I can focus on area where I can benefit our neighborhoods and children better. I am currently looking into exactly which way I can best serve so stay tuned.
