Kris Schendel for GAPS

05/21/2025

I want to give my deepest thanks to each of you who supported me in my campaign. Though I did not win, I will walk away from this experience with a more profound love and respect for the community we call home.

Throughout this journey, I have had the privilege of meeting many passionate, thoughtful, and dedicated people who care deeply about the future of our schools, students, educators, and community. These connections showed and humbled me when seeing how many of us are committed to strengthening our schools and communities.

I am proud of my campaign and honored to have earned your trust and encouragement. Your support meant the world to me.

This is not the end. I remain committed to serving our community, listening to its needs, and working together for a better tomorrow.

With my sincerest gratitude,
Kristopher Schendel

The local elections make the biggest impact on our communities. I am ready to make a GAPS we can all be proud of again! One in which all voices are heard and one we feel safe sending our children to!
