North Bend School Board

DeAnne Wiedenmann
As the mother of a toddler and a future Bulldog, supporting our community’s education isn’t just an investment in my child’s future; it’s an investment in our community. As a blue-collar family, I believe we need to prepare our students for all paths, including trades and skills education, not just college.
Megan Kronsteiner-Cahill
If elected, I’ll focus on improving educational opportunities and achievement, boosting attendance, and restoring trust and confidence in our public school system.

Julie B. Hale
As a mother of four, with children who are both home schooled and in public school, I understand that every family is different. That’s why I believe our education system needs to be flexible — so every parent can be part of their child’s learning journey, in the way that works best for them.
Anna Huit
I am not a politician. Instead, I show up, do the work, and keep an independent and open mind. If elected, I will continue to be a strong voice for my four boys—and for all children, families, and staff across our district.

Coos Bay School Board

Arnie Roblan
I’m a lifelong educator and former high school principal who knows the power of public education to change lives. During my time in the classroom and as a school leader, I focused on creating hands-on programs that gave students real-world skills—from natural resource courses to student-run radio.
Bandon School Board
Corrie Gant
I grew up in Coos County and moved to Bandon in 1987 with my husband where we operated a small business for over 20 years, and I served on the Bandon School Board previously for nine years. I want to ensure our students have access to career and technical program through our community college.


Claudia Powers
I am concerned about Bandon School District 54’s budget, declining enrollment, graduation rates, post high school opportunities, and the need to fighft against wrong-headed federal and state mandates.
Southwestern Oregon Community College (SOCC) Board
Marica Jensen
I’m a lifelong South Coast resident, business owner, and proud member of the SWOCC Board of Education for the past 25 years. From my background in industries like timber, accounting, and small business, to my lifelong commitment to community service, I’m dedicated to helping students succeed through education and job training.


Jeremy Skinner
I am a lifelong South Coast resident and director of the Curry Public Library, where I’ve led award-winning innovations in education, civic engagement, and infrastructure. I am running for re-election to ensure SWOCC is preparing our kids for well-paying jobs, and helping grow our business community.
Maria Sudduth
I’m seeking re-election to SWOCC because I believe deeply in the power of community colleges to transform lives—just as it did for me. As an educator and volunteer chaplain, I’m committed to expanding access, improving outreach, and building partnerships that support student success across Coos and Curry counties.
