Republic Board of Education Candidates
Denny Lawson
Age: 47
Occupation: Chief Commercial Officer, CyndRx Medical
Education: Bachelor of Science
Why should someone vote for you:
An effective school board governs as one body, with each member bringing a different set of life experiences and skills to add to discussions and decisions. I feel confident that throughout my tenure those life experiences and skill set have been impactful to the discussions and decisions. I’ve tried living a life of service to others while maintaining the highest level of integrity and professionalism in any situation. It’s rewarding to be a very small part of something so big as we graduate each senior class.
I have a big heart for my community and the school district and being a passionate voice for parents, students, and employees is why I would ask voters to place their vote for me. I feel confident that any of the other three candidates are just as capable of bringing value to our school system.

Occupation: Self employed; owner & operator of several businesses in Republic.
Why should people vote for you? I believe I am a great asset in the community, by being very routed in the community and volunteer, while fundraise/sponsor for things needed within the school district. I have two children in the school system; thus, I plan to be very involved in the school district for years to come. I am a Republic graduate and I would love to continue to see Republic School District as a heavily sought out district for their children.

Why should somebody vote for you? I have served on the Republic School Board for six years. During that time I have been a part of a great team that have worked well together to achieve the District's goal of preparing our students for a successful future. I would like to continue to help this District as we move forward in the future.

Education: Bachelor's of Science in criminal justice
Why should someone vote for you? I have been in public service for over 20 years and interact with people in many situations. I have been a substitute teacher in the Republic School District and have seen firsthand the issues the district is facing with the growing population. I do not have any business ties to alter my decision-making ability when it comes to building projects.
