Editor, the News-Herald:

Congratulations to John Riddick for his win as the school board representative for the Nansemond Borough. The race, though a long and hard one, was fair.

It was my honor to visit the many people throughout the Nansemond District. This afforded me the opportunity to interact with the community as they voice their concerns about the issues facing the Suffolk public schools.

This information is very valuable as I plan to continue to be a voice for the people. I will gladly share the information I obtained from parents, students, teachers, school bus drivers, and other concerned citizens with the superintendent and members of the school board through letters and phone calls.
