🌟 Endorsement That Matters! VoteVets Joins Our Campaign!

I am absolutely delighted to share that the VoteVets organization has officially endorsed my campaign! 🇺🇸

For over a decade, VoteVets has been the leading national voice for veterans, and I deeply respect their mission. As an OIF/OEF U.S. Army veteran, receiving their stamp of approval is a powerful affirmation of my leadership and dedication to service.

My military service instilled in me the discipline and commitment to continue fighting for the well-being and future of our community. I am excited to have VoteVets stand alongside me as I work to continue serving on the Groveport-Madison School Board. 🐴

Your service matters—and your vote matters! Please remember to VOTE!🗳️

**"For every student and for every learner, re-elect LaToya Dowdell-Burger."** 🚀🎓
