Just got back home from a Republican Party of Benton County meeting. It was a very informative meeting and the highlight of the evening was Rebecca Powers who is running for Re-Election for Bentonville School Board. What I love about Rebecca is she was a young mother (like I was) was a single mother (like I was) yet, she still fought hard to get where she is today. She's so smart, well-spoken, educated (a Master of Arts in Teaching) and did all this while being a single mom and working full time.
Her presentation was fantastic! Her push/palm card talks of five points that I was truly impressed with:
1. Obviously, her Master of Arts in Teaching
2. She is a former teacher.
3. She is committed to academic achievement for all students.
4. She supports responsible use of taxpayer dollars.
5. Finally, her strong conservative leadership.
I know from listening to her presentation this evening that Rebecca Powers has been met with opposition and knowing what I know about politics that it is just par for the course. Politics isn't easy. You have to constantly fight for what you believe in. And today, when I was checking my own FaceBook I ran across this silly little quiz that said type your first name in this box and we will tell you what your name means. I usually don't do these quizzes, but for some reason I went ahead and typed Rebecca in the box and awaited the results. After a second or two it said:
Little Fighter.
After going through many hardships in my own life and serving my first session in the House of Representatives, I found this to be true about myself AND after listening to Rebecca Powers speak in such a powerful manner and learning that she, too, has faced many hardships in life, I say to her,
"Keep fighting, Little Fighter."
Godspeed, my friend. Fight the good fight! You've got this.
Please get out and vote for Rebecca Powers if you live in Bentonville Public School Zone 1
Early voting begins Tuesday September 8th. Actual voting begins September 15th.
