Lindsay and Ruchi rock!!! Thrilled for you. You’re both inspiring leaders – Intelligence and dignity personified. Congratulations!!!
Congrats Ruchi & Lindsay. Well deserved! Thanks for your humility grace and sincerity. You’re both amazing leaders and absolutely the best fit for our town. Shade and tension does not belong on our school board.
Civility of discourse among neighbors is such a great feature of Piedmont. I hope we can continue this standard. It takes a village….
Thanks for running Shirley! All of the candidates deserve our thanks for being willing to donate time and effort to making Piedmont the best it can be. I for one am thankful to all three.
Well done Lindsay and Ruchi. So grateful to know two genuine people are on the school board.
Congratulations to Ruchi Medhekar and Lindsay Thomasson! Thank you both for your honesty, integrity, compassion and acceptance of responsibility for the welfare of our school community and beyond
Lindsay and Ruchi were far and away the most qualified, the most informed, and the most engaged candidates running for School Board this year. I’m thrilled that they won, and I look forward to seeing PUSD move forward under their leadership after an especially rough couple of years.
Could not agree more!! Absolutely the best candidates. Respectful, intelligent and thoughtful, Lindsay and Ruchi will serve our school board with dignity.
Congrats to Ruchi and Lindsay – both competent and prepared! Thanks for keeping your campaigns honest and real. Inhibiting the truth, hypocrisy, engaging in impression management and monitoring voters’ reactions to outlandish statements has no place in Piedmont.
