I have worked closely with the following individuals, who do or have had important roles in Pembina Trails and have endorsed my candidacy:
- Tim Johnson, Current and ongoing Pembina Trails School Division School Trustee, Ward 2 who wrote: “Over the past 20 years as a School Trustee with Pembina Trails, I have had the privilege of working with and getting to know many dedicated people who care deeply about public education. Craig Stahlke is one of those people. I first came to know Craig in his role as Secretary-Treasurer of Pembina Trails and, more recently, through his service as a School Trustee representing Ward 1. I have come to know Craig as someone who genuinely cares about people and takes his responsibility to the community very seriously. Craig leads with integrity. He believes that trust has to be earned, and he works hard to earn it. You can count on Craig to give you the facts, to be honest and straightforward, and to take the time to understand the issues before making a decision. What I value most about Craig is that, beneath his knowledge and experience, there is a genuine care for students and for the people who make our schools so special. His moral compass is firmly grounded in doing what he believes is right for students and for the future of Pembina Trails. I know the importance of having trustees who bring experience, integrity, compassion, and sound judgment to the table. Craig brings all of these qualities. I am pleased to endorse Craig Stahlke for School Trustee – Pembina Trails Ward 1.”
