I support Briana Spencer for the Pendleton School Board, Position 7.

I am honored and proud to stand by Briana. She has a voice that is spirited, a courageous attitude, and is highly knowledgeable. Throughout the years, she has shown dedication and compassion for her community by sharing tools and resources, volunteering for different functions, and advocating for various causes.

Those skills and accomplishments make Ms. Spencer an exceptional candidate for the position. She is an avid supporter of education and I know she will do great things.

Mission

The East Oregonian does not run endorsements of more than 400 words.

The East Oregonian will institute a deadline for letters to the editor, so we can be fair with all the letters we receive and allow for responses before Election Day, if necessary.

We run local letters of endorsement on a first-come, first-served basis. Please submit your endorsement letters to the editor by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 7. You can email them to editor@eastoregonian.com, or mail them to East Oregonian, c/o Andrew Cutler, 211 S.E. Byers Ave., Pendleton, OR 97801.

We will publish our last letters on Saturday, May 15. Any letters received after the deadline will not run. Election Day is May 18.
