There are now two candidates in Hamilton Southeastern School Board, District 4. Julie Chambers filed her candidacy Monday at the Hamilton County Elections Office in Noblesville. Brad Banks has already filed his candidacy in District 4.
Ms. Chambers is a former prosecuting attorney with Marion County and now has a private law practice with an office in the Fort Harrison area of Lawrence.
Her main campaign slogan is – “Leadership that will listen.”
Ms. Chambers explained her main campaign issues in an e-mail to me. She would like to see more accountability and transparency from the board and work on improving communication between the board and the community.
Her other main issues include focusing on teacher recruitment and retention, mental health outreach within the HSE District, and school safety. She adds that school safety goes hand in hand with the mental health component.
She and her husband, Sean have two daughters. Emily is 6 and is in 1st grade at Fall Creek Elementary and Morgan is 4, attending preschool in Fishers. Ms Chambers is in her second year volunteering as Troop Leader for Emily’s Girl Scout Daisy Troop.
