Shantel Okorie, a Clark College student who filed for election to the Vancouver Public Schools board, is actively seeking election to the position after previously telling The Columbian she had decided not to campaign.
In her voters’ pamphlet statement, Okorie touts her experience as a former student of the district.
“I may not have the same experience as some of the other people running but my experience brings something new to the table, and there is no change without change,” she wrote in her voters’ pamphlet statement.
She is challenging political newcomer Anthony Licerio and incumbent Mark Stoker for the seat.
The primary election is Aug. 1.
