Endorsement – Kelly Blumenthal – Parent and advocate of children with special and medical needs

“I have been a proud Stafford County homeowner for more than 15 years. When I learned that Shannon Fingerholz was running for School Board, I could not have been more excited to support her. Shannon is deeply knowledgeable about our community and especially about our schools. Over the years, our children were in the same class, and I saw firsthand how involved and engaged she was. She never hesitated to ask the right questions, pursue meaningful answers, and, most importantly, take action to make a difference. Her perspective, combined with her creative ideas and problem-solving skills, is something I have always admired. One area that is especially close to my heart is Shannon’s passion for improving resources and opportunities for the special-needs community. As a mother and strong advocate for children with special and medical needs, I am truly inspired by her vision for enhancing the lives of these students. Just as importantly, she values creating enrichment opportunities for all students, fostering understanding, inclusion, and growth across the entire student body. The synergy she brings to this effort is both exciting and necessary. I strongly encourage Stafford residents and parents to take the time to hear Shannon’s ideas and learn more about her vision. I wholeheartedly believe she would be an invaluable asset to the Stafford County School Board, and she has my complete support and my vote. Thank you, Shannon, for your commitment and dedication to our children and community.” Sincerely, Kelly Blumenthal, Parent Advocate and Mom
