Deborah is "Mrs. Darling approved!"

I have known Deborah for many years as a hard-working, dedicated champion for children and educators. She is devoted to her students and her country and will do what it takes to help them succeed. Beyond a doubt, she is one of the most informed people I know - she will be a huge asset to her constituents and a needed perspective on the State Board of Education!

Deborah Gatrell has my support for the State Board of Education. She has the finest qualifications of leadership and experience as an educator. Her support of First Amendment rights and the freedom to read is especially critical at a time when some want to limit these essential rights. We need Deborah as an intelligent voice of reason for our schools.

“As a retired school administrator it is my pleasure to support a current classroom teacher, Deborah Gatrell, as a candidate for the State Board of Education. She is qualified and understands her role as a Board Member.”

“I have seen Deborah in action as a servant-leader in our schools and in our community, and as a parent I trust her to prioritize our children’s success and wellness over politics. Every student and educator deserves a bold champion, passionate advocate, and experienced leader like Deborah to stand up for us all on the Board of Education.”

"Experience counts. Deborah’s lifetime pattern has been to serve, learn, and lead. As a dedicated teacher and teacher leader, she is clear about education quality; the value of public schools to individuals, families, and communities; and the details of decision-making as a Utah School Board member. I am excited to endorse and encourage votes for a true education professional, Deborah Gatrell."
