Meet Kristen Pence, Write-in candidate for South River District School Board

On November 5th, the South River District will have two choices for Warren County School Board. Kristen Pence and David Downes are both write-in candidates. Pence stopped by the Royal Examiner studio and spoke with our publisher Mike McCool about the issues facing Warren County Schools and School Board.

As a lifelong resident of Warren County and mother of a young child, Pence has a vested interest in both our public school system and our community. Pence said, “Our school system should be the most important focus of this community, and it deserves support from everyone. An education system we can be proud of ensures the success not only of the children in our community, but also of the community as a whole”.

Her goals as a school board member are: Hire a school superintendent that is the right fit for our school system and community, improve teacher retention in Warren County, provide support to teachers who have chosen to make this community their home and ensure graduates of Warren County Public Schools receive an education that prepares them for a successful future, whether that means joining the workforce, military, or attending college.

There is no South River School Board candidate on the November 5 ballot. Pence is running as a write-in candidate, which means that her full legal name needs to be handwritten on the ballot.

Please vote on November 5th.
