Gloria Coulombe: Mercado ready to contribute to schools

Mary Mercado is the best choice for Merced Union High School Board.

I urge you to vote for Mary Mercado in Area 1 on Nov.4. The school board has many issues and concerns that have been raised regarding the structure and honesty of Merced Union High School District. As a 20-year employee of this district, a parent and grandparent, current retiree and volunteer in our community, Mary is well aware of the needs of this district.

Her strengths include honesty, integrity, respect and Mary is committed to student educational opportunities. She will hold the district accountable for all concerns. Mary is well aware of the needs and is ready to contribute to our community in a positive way. Merced Union High School District needs a positive change.

I am asking for your vote for Mary Mercado.
