Berg has knowledge, skills needed on Everett School Board

April Berg, candidate for the Everett School Board, has an exceptional resume of experience. As a mother, the education of her children has been a top priority. She now wants to make it a top priority for your children by being elected to the Everett School Board.

We need her thoughtful, compassionate and educated voice to assure our students have the knowledge and leadership skills necessary to move forward with self-confidence. Her candidacy has been endorsed by the Alliance for Gun Responsibility. All students have the right to feel safe and be free from the fear of gun violence in their school setting. Please give April Berg your support and vote by Nov. 5. Thank you.
