“From a deep understanding of K-12 finance to active monitoring of education legislation, my career uniquely positions me with the public education knowledge and experience to be an influential school board member.” Laramie shares on her website, www.mjlaramie.org.  

Laramie’s community service includes Grace Community Church, United Way Campaign Coordinator, Northwest Harvest, Washington Schools Public Relations Association current member and past President, Kent Schools Foundation current board member and Secretary, and Kent Sunrise Rotary. 

“As a mom of a soon-to-be middle schooler, an Auburn homeowner, and an active Auburn community member, I have a personal interest in giving back to our school district as a servant leader. In addition, as a school district employee, a principal’s sister, a custodian’s daughter, a bus driver’s granddaughter, and a paraeducator’s niece, I fully understand the school board’s role in ensuring student success.” Laramie explains that public education is her calling and servant leadership is a family value.”
