Ellen Kehr has previously provided positive leadership for the Albert Lea community with her work serving on the Albert Lea City Council and as Blue Zones coordinator and State Health Improvement Program coordinator. While serving our community in these leadership positions, Ellen has shown the ability to work well with different groups and bridge differences for the good of our community. This is another time when that characteristic is needed as our school board and school administration is in need of improving collaboration.

I recommend Ellen Kehr without reservation for your vote for school board Tuesday.
