Julie Chambers is seeking a second term on the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School board in the upcoming fall general election. Ms. Chambers currently serves as President of the HSE Board of Trustees.
“As the daughter of a public school teacher and a product of public schools myself, I truly believe that our public schools are the bedrock of our community,” Chambers wrote in a Facebook posting announcing her candidacy. “HSE Schools are excellent, and much like many families in our district, one of the main reasons we ended in Fishers. However, no district is perfect, and we should never stop striving to improve.”
In the 2018 election, Ms. Chambers defeated Brad Banks by 268 votes – Chambers received 4,971 votes, Banks 4,703.
HSE School Board candidates begin their official filing July 27, with the filing deadline at noon August 26. In this election, there are four of the seven board seats up for election. Each candidate only runs within the border of her/his district, with only voters within that district casting ballots for that board seat.
The general election is set for November 8.
