The Ashford Democrats have sent a mailer around that contains a piece of information that is untrue.
Under my credentials the claim is made that I was a"teacher of the year". I never was a teacher of the year nor have I personally made such a claim.
The error is simply a matter of campaign literature that went without a thorough proof-reading. I take full responsibility.
My guess is that in a conversation I said that I "taught high school for one year" was later transcribed that I had been a teacher OF the year.
So, I ask forgiveness of those who may believe this is intentional deceit - certainly I'm not perfect and believing any politician is lying is understandable.
For those who are more understanding of the situation I want to reassure them that I would have loved to be a Teacher of the Year - it's a noble honor and something a lot harder to achieve than running for office and getting elected.
