Greetings! My name is Eric Holmes, and I want to be your Director for Multnomah Educational Service District.
I've spent most of my life living in East Multnomah County, both as a child and now as an adult, and I understand the needs that East Multnomah County has. The area is changing, both demographically and physically, and East Multnomah County needs a voice in the Multnomah Educational Service District.
As a product of the public school system and as a professional educator, I know the importance of education as a part of the democratic process, and an educated public is a successful one. As your Director for Multnomah Educational Service District, I will fight to ensure that your tax dollars are spent to help the greatest number of students and their families that is possible, and to improve existing programs and services in order to reflect the ever-changing needs that Multnomah County has.
I invite all voters in Multnomah County to visit my website, http://holmesformesd.blogspot.com, and to ask questions about my positions on the issues and to give me your feedback, as I want to be YOUR representative in Multnomah County.
