Last updated on 2011.09.05

Hmm... let's see, don't give competition press, or get the scoop... ooo, tough one....

We have a second declared candidate for the Madison Central School Board! Jennie Thompson, paralegal for the Lake County States Attorney, has submitted her petition to run! Here's her press release:

I would like to announce that effective today, I have submitted my Petition to run as a candidate for the Madison Central School Board. I was born in Brookings, South Dakota, attended kindergarten in Flandreau, and moved to Madison prior to first grade. I am a 1998 graduate of Madison High School, and a 2004 graduate of South Dakota State University with a major in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I am a paralegal for the Lake County State's Attorney Office and have been with the Office since January of 2000. My husband, Marty (a 1993 graduate of MHS), and I have three children, Vanessa (4), Tyler (3) and Tevin (1). I am a member of St. Thomas Catholic Church, and I am currently involved in the Leadership Madison Program.

With three children who will be entering the school district, I believe now is the time for me to seek this position. I am dedicated to creating a future for our children which will enhance the education they receive from Madison Central. While there are many challenges facing the Madison Central School District, I believe these challenges are opportunities to make our District even stronger. I believe we have a top-notch educational system here in Madison, and I am anxious to become involved in helping the District further prosper.

Welcome to the show, Jennie! One more candidate, and we've got a campaign!
