- Miller Runs for School Board
HUDSONVILLE -- Ottawa County Libertarian Party Chair
Jason C. Miller announced this week his intention to seek --
and win -- a spot on the Hudsonville Public Schools Board of
Education.
Miller was a student at Hudsonville High School until
his recent graduation (he now attends Grand Valley State
University). He intends to make his student perspective an
important part of the campaign.
"Because I served as student representative to the
School Board, I have an insider's understanding of the
issues without the corruption inherent to the entrenched
interests." Miller said at Tuesday's OCLP meeting. "I know
how the school system works. I've seen what's wrong with
it. And I know how to fix it."
Miller also served on the district's curriculum
council. His technological knowledge and employment at a
leading local Internet Service Provider is expected to
factor into his campaign.
"Hudsonville needs to catch up with the information
age. Better use of technology can save money, increase
parent / student / voter awareness, and prepare our students
for the jobs of tommorow. If we're going to offer an
education, we should offer a good education. And technology
needs to be a part of that."
Hudsonville School Board elections are historicaly
un-opposed and have voter turnout at less than 1% --
something Miller wishes to change. He is planning a
grass-roots campaign that will include volunteers and hard
work on his part: he is pledging to knock on every door in
the district.
"This year voters will have a choice. Hudsonville
voters have supported school choice and lower taxes. As a
Libertarian those are two issues I control the table on.
But I believe in simple, common sense ideas to improve the
quality of our public schools. And I believe voters will
accept these ideas."
Hudsonville will vote June 11 for two seats on their
local school board. For more information about Miller's
campaign please visit
