"You don't need years of committee work, but you must never assume you don't have to work. You do need to know the issues and you must be willing to work hard and learn the feelings of the citizens in your district. Rowan was one of three winning win-ning female candidates who spoke to women in Leadership (WIL) at their January luncheon. To accomplish her goal Rowan knocked on every door in her entire district, mosdy in North Orem, accompanied by a member of each neighborhood. Sometimes the areas were divided into two or three parts with a different neighbor walking with her in each area. She said talking to people face-to-face is the best way to learn how they feel about things. After winning the primary by a narrow margin, she said, "I had to let them know I would be a good candidate to support." Rowan also said the party offers only emotional support before the primary but gives full support afterward to the emerging candidate. Contrary to popular belief, money doesn't always buy the election, she added. She won with more time and spent $2,500 while her opponent Wayne Dexter Dex-ter spent $6,000. Looking back, what would she do differently? "I would have done more legwork prior to the delegate convention to get the delegates behind me." However, she did speak to each one by phone. She believes the delegate process is a good one.

She used those assets to rally support from friends, design campaign signs, get out flyers and get assistance in distributing them in every area. She concentrated concen-trated on the primary to get her platform and information out. She also participated in a SCERA production and made sure her mterest m education and the school board were included in her publicity bio. "I was glad the election was close because my opponent was really a good man," she said. Now she's excited to be involved in the decision-making process that will impact district students. Unlike the other candidates, Kaye Westwood, Nebo School Board member, already had two unsuccessful campaigns behind her when she ran again last November. No-vember. She admitted she waited to file until the incumbent decided decid-ed not to run. "People already knew I was interested in education educa-tion and children," she said. She put computer-generated signs in every downtown window in Spring Lake where she had lived for 23 years. She refused financial finan-cial help but developed a flyer which was mailed to nearly everyone ev-eryone or distributed by her own children. She welcomed assistance assis-tance in other ways. Because it was a large area, walking it was impossible. However, How-ever, several people in the district dis-trict did help get the word out. "My greatest expense was buying T-shirts with a slogan for all my grandchildren," Westwood said. They wore them everywhere. Westwood won with 75 of the vote. All of the winning candidates said they gained much from the experience and wouldn't have regretted it even if they had lost.
