Candidate Statements

Danielle Kucera

Director of marketing
Community: “My interest in the well-being of my local community started at the very beginning of my career.”
Engagement: “As a member of the Healdsburg School Board, I would use the nonjudgmental curiosity I developed as a journalist to listen intently to students, teachers, parents, and our wider community — and I would combine that with the results-driven mindset I now use every day as a leader at a data privacy company.”
Problem Solving: “I thrive in gray areas, and I have the skill set to figure out the best answer in situations where the right one may not exist.”

Rose McAllister

Healdsburg Unified School District Governing Board
Collaboration: “I seek reelection to use the knowledge and relationships I’ve built to continue to serve with energy, an open mind, and a spirit of collaboration.”
Resources: “I believe that our community resources should build a future full of knowledge, confidence, and career options for every student.”
Experience: “My professional background in government relations prepared me for the diplomacy, tenacity, and patience required in any public office.”

Donna del Rey

Small-business owner
Budget: “I’m very honored to have been a part of the advances in the district over the last decade, including the facility improvements at all the campuses.”
Public Service: “Since choosing not to run for reelection in 2022, I’ve continued to support the district by volunteering on the HES-FMC Governance Council and assisting with ad hoc projects as needed.”
Education: “I’m a believer in the power of public schools to educate, create opportunities for and inspire all students.”

Skyler Osborn

Manufacturing engineer
Representation: “As a member of the Healdsburg Unified School District Board of Directors I would be committed to ensuring all students receive the highest quality of education possible, while also ensuring all voices are heard and represented.”
STEM: “I am an engineer by training and I have witnessed firsthand how important knowledge in the fundamentals of science, technology, engineering, and math are for students when they reach industry.”
Inclusivity: “It is important to me that all students are given equal opportunities to succeed and thrive in an inclusive learning environment where their individual needs are met.”

Judy Velasquez

Retired teacher
Education: “Public education has been a passion and focus of mine.”
Recovery: “There is still much to do to recover from the pandemic and to advance our students’ success.”
Engagement: “I especially enjoy visiting classrooms, seeing students interactive and engaged.”

George A. Horwedel

Retired
Budget: “Unfortunately, the WUSD since 2015 has continually added high salaried, non-classroom employees. My first priority is to analyze, then reduce non-classroom staff and to use the savings to fund classroom and student needs.”
School Bonds: “My fourth priority is restarting the Bond Oversight Committee to oversee all bond expenditures as WUSD promised taxpayers through the last school bond measure.”
Administration: “Current WUSD administrative priorities, unfortunately don’t align with student and classroom needs. We can do a whole lot better.”
