Re-elect Dan Hansen
I’d like to echo others’ statements in support of Dan Hansen for re-election to the West Valley School District board.
Dan and I worked together for many years and I know him to be a thoughtful and committed leader.
He has no political agenda in serving on the school board; you won’t get any grandstanding on culture-war issues from Dan.
He serves because of a longstanding dedication to the West Valley School District and a belief in the importance of a quality education for all.
As a school board member for the past seven years, Dan has advocated for policies at the state and federal levels and he has a firm grasp of the complexities of education funding. Those are attributes all of us should value in a school board member, no matter what district.
West Valley families and taxpayers, you couldn’t ask for a better representative on the school board than Dan Hansen.
