Jefferson County School District 509-J Board incumbent Jamie Hurd faces Warm Springs resident Lorien Stacona for position 2 in the May 18 special district election.
"I cherish our community and want to see it continue to grow in a positive way," Hurd said. "I'm dedicated to our school district, and I am passionate about helping our students thrive. I want them to feel inspired, motivated and ready for life outside of our schools."
Hurd has served on the school board for nearly four years. She and her husband, Jeff, have three children. At one time, she worked as a wildlife biologist for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. She has served the community as a Madras Aquatic Center Recreation District Board member and has volunteered to support several organizations such as Every Child Matters, Kindred Connections, Department of Human Services, Faith Based Network, Madras Sister City Association, Buff Fan Club and MADras Runners.
