Livermore School Board — Stewart Gary, Chuck Roggee

Stewart Gary and Chuck Roggee are challenging incumbents Tom McLaughlin and Bill Morrison for two seats on the Livermore School Board.

The challengers care deeply and are well informed about education issues and possess considerable leadership skills. The two believe the district’s decision-making needs a consensus-building approach that embraces more of the community. The challengers would bring a strong, independent perspective to the board.

Gary, former chief of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, is an exceptional candidate. He was the prime mover in the unification of the two fire departments. This complex and difficult project gave him a high level of knowhow and experience that he believes can be applied to the problems of the school district.

“... my expertise in public policy, fiscal planning and labor relations would be an asset to the board,” Gary says.
Roggee, a lifelong Livermore resident, has been very active in the community, volunteering at Croce Elementary and coaching track at Livermore High, among other involvements. He is a retired fire captain.

“The current board and staff use a top-down method of management,” Roggee charges. “That needs to be turned around ... with students, teachers and parents part of the discussion.”

Stewart Gary and Chuck Roggee would revitalize the Livermore School Board. We urge their election.
