Endorsements

Audrey Traaen and her family are our neighbors. She is a wonderful community member and a parent with strong values. Audrey and Lance have always been helpful to my husband Jay Harman and me. She coaches youth sports, is active in politics, and does work for various boards, including the Budget Committee with the Canby School District and also the Canby Fire Department. She is a person who knows how to study and implement policy. She will keep our community out of divisive news and ugly politics. Audrey listens to teachers and CSD workers and parents, and she will put the young people of our community first. My husband and I could not support her more. A vote for Audrey is a vote for intelligent, thoughtful implementation of the Canby School District's Strategic Plan. — Debra Harman

I’m pleased to have the opportunity to support Audrey Traaen for a position on the Canby School Board. Audrey has excellent character and the kind of values that are well appreciated by her neighbors. Audrey is a family person with a great hard-working husband (Lance) and two wonderful sons. Audrey’s oldest son attends Ninety-one school. My wife and I know Audrey on a personal level. They are our next-door neighbors, and they are the best! When one of us needs a hand or there is an emergency, we can always count on the Traaen's. Audrey would be a great addition to the Canby School Board. I’m sure her motivation is centered on providing an excellent education for all the district’s children. Both my wife and I are retired Canby High School teachers. Sincerely, Jay R.
