On one of my several trips to the Western Slope, I met Jasmin Ramirez who is running for the Roaring Fork School Board (RFSD), where 55% of the student body is Latino. Jasmin is an educator, active community member, parent of a RFSD student and a Latina. When I heard her share her heart for education and her community at an event we both attended, I knew I wanted to get to know her a little better. As I listened to her over coffee at the local Glenwood Springs Village Inn, I began to grow excited about Jasmin\u2019s candidacy and the potential opportunities for the RFSD if she were elected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Jasmin is a time-tested community leader who will bring a fresh perspective and voice to a rapidly changing district. It\u2019s important to understand that voting for someone who can be a bridge to RFSD\u2019s growing Latino school community is good for everyone. Bridge builders like Jasmin Ramirez bring communities together. It\u2019s time to ensure that diverse leadership has a seat at the table, builds into and strengthens necessary racial bridges and helps everyone strive toward our shared American aspiration to be \u201cindivisible, with liberty and justice for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Jasmin\u2019s life experience and smart ideas for the RFSD make it easy to see she is a well-qualified leader, which is why I am proud to endorse her as a candidate for District D.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Michelle Ferrigno Warren is a nonprofit executive and community advocate for equity for all.
