Randy Leonard's Oregonian letter to the editor in support of Ruth, published 5/10/07
Adkins a creative leader
I am very appreciative of The Oregonian's endorsement of Ruth Adkins for the Portland School Board. Adkins would bring strong leadership and creative ideas to the board. I am looking forward to working with her as a partner in the city's efforts to plan for the future and to preserve and enhance the livability of Portland.
Adkins is committed to working collaboratively to ensure that all children have quality schools and that Portland remains a family-friendly city. I urge my fellow Portlanders to vote for Ruth Adkins.
