School board candidate withdraws from race

Candidate Jo Zucker has withdrawn from the race for Position #4 on The Sisters School Board. Jeff Smith will now run for that seat unopposed. Guy Gleason and Steve Keeton are running unopposed for two other open positions.

"The existence of a credible alternative candidate, as well as the demands of raising two young children, have convinced me to withdraw my candidacy for Position 4 on the Sisters School Board," Zucker said in a written statement to The Nugget.

"In a few years, when my children are older, I may choose to run for school board again," she said. "In the mean- time, I hope to raise issues with the public through my statement in the Voters Pamphlet and I plan to be involved in school issues at the citizenlevel."

Zucker also thanked those who encouraged her to run for the position.

The election is set for Tuesday, March 9.
