Very disappointing in the lack of commitment displayed in this response by our elected city council officials to not protect our communities.

This is why it is so vital that constituents get out and vote for the right candidate to represent, serve and protect us.

Hopefully every family in our community will have at least one representative attending the City Council Meeting this evening - Wednesday, April 1st at 7:30. Time to show up GP. 🖤💛

💛 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄 & 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 💛

As the results come in, I want to take a moment to say 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 — from the bottom of my heart — to every person who supported, encouraged, prayed for, and believed in me during this journey.

While the outcome may not have gone in my favor, I trust wholeheartedly that 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭. I ran because I believe deeply in the power of community, faith, and service — and that desire to serve doesn’t end here.

To my opponents — 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 on your victories. I sincerely pray for your wisdom, discernment, and strength as you lead and make decisions that impact our city and schools. May you always lead with humility, compassion, and integrity.

I’m incredibly proud of the Garden Plain and Renwick communities — for showing up, speaking out, and using your voices. That’s what true democracy looks like, and that’s what makes our community strong.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”— Romans 8:28 (NIV)

Thank you again for your kindness, encouragement, and belief in the vision of building a stronger, more connected community. This is not goodbye — it’s simply the next chapter in continuing to serve in the ways God calls me to.

In His grace,
Candye 🖤💛

🗳️ 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍 & 𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐖𝐈𝐂𝐊! 🗳️🇺🇸

Today is the day your voices are heard loud and clear — through your vote. It’s the day we come together as a community to shape the future of Garden Plain and Renwick Schools.

As I humbly stand before you as a candidate for 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐫 and the 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, I’m filled with 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦, 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, and 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦. I’ve always believed that leadership isn’t about titles or recognition — it’s about 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, and 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 for what matters most: our families, our children, and our hometown values.

I may not have been the loudest voice, but my heart has always been steady — focused on integrity, transparency, and collaboration. Together, we can continue to build a strong, connected, and thriving community where every voice is valued.

So today, I invite you: 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭. 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞.

Your voice matters — and your vote carries the power to create real, lasting impact.

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.
♥️🤍💙

Prayers for all candidates across the state today — may God’s will be done in every community, every heart, and every decision made at the polls.

📖 Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

We all know it takes funding to keep our city moving forward—supporting amenities, parks, the new pool, and essential services. That’s why it’s so important to understand how the budget impacts your household.

I want our community to have clear, easy-to-read information so you can stay informed and engaged on decisions that affect your family’s budget.
