Lenexa, KS – Former Representative Stephanie Sharp of Lenexa filed
today for a seat on the Johnson County Community College Board of
Trustees. Four at-large, county-wide, nonpartisan seats are up for
election in the Spring General Election on April 7, 2009.
Sharp served the 17th District in the Kansas House of Representatives
for three terms from 2003 to 2008, retiring to pursue full-time
employment and start a family. The district includes portions of Lenexa
and Shawnee.
“As a key member of the bi-partisan education coalitions that crafted
solutions to fund Kansas K-12 schools and increase local control for
Johnson County, I am excited to continue the quest for quality schools
in the higher education arena right here at home,” Sharp said.
The focus of Sharp’s public service is being an accessible source of
information for voters. She will be reinstating her popular newsletter,
the Sharp Record, to help raise awareness about the community college’s
offerings. Visit www.stephaniesharp.com to subscribe.
