I would like to take this opportunity to encourage Kent voters to consider casting their vote for Larry Sims for Position No. 1 in the upcoming Kent School Board elections.

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage Kent voters to consider casting their vote for Larry Sims for Position No. 1 in the upcoming Kent School Board elections.

Mr. Sims has been a Kent resident for 17 years. He and his wife, Karen, have been tireless supporters of education and youth in our community. He has two children attending Kent schools and has actively participated through local PTSA organizations in their educational experience. Mr. Sims has also shown his commitment to the young people in our community by coaching youth sports over the years. He brings a positive attitude to his interactions and treats children and parents with respect and thoughtfulness.

With 23 years of employment at Boeing and 15 years in management, Sims would bring strong business acumen and proven leadership experience to a board position. He has a bachelor of science degree in management from the University of Phoenix, a master certificate in project management from Stevens Institute of Technology, and is a 2004 graduate of the Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound. He is endorsed by the Kent Education Association.

The combination of Mr. Sims’ business and management experience along with his support and passion for our community’s youth make him the right candidate for the Kent School Board. I strongly urge you to vote for Sims for Director Position No. 1.
