DeLoach is intelligent, thoughtful

To the editor:

As a long time Coralville resident with three kids attending schools in our district, I've been paying close attention to school issues for the last nine years or so. I know we need school board members who will listen to all sides of an issue, will think critically, and will focus on the needs of all of the kids in our district. There is no one running for school board that I trust more to do that than LaTasha DeLoach.

As someone who has lived in Coralville, North Liberty and Iowa City, she understands the needs of the entire district. While working with her this past year on the Juneteenth event, I saw firsthand the overwhelming passion she has for improving our community. I recognized someone who is incredibly intelligent and thoughtful about the issues our kids are facing. I saw a communicator who can mediate disputes, listen attentively and advocate for the underrepresented. And most of all, I saw a leader, someone who can bring people together around a common cause. We need DeLoach on the school board fighting our kids' futures. Please join me in voting for her on Tuesday.
