Maureen Siegmund is running to become the representative for the Garrisonville District on the Stafford County School Board.
Siegmund says she's right for the job as the Director of External Relations for Active Policy Solutions, a government affairs firm that provides government relations and advocacy support to clients specializing in sports, health, wellness, education, youth development, and civil rights policy.
Siegmund says that this, along with her work with the Board's Gifted Advisory Committee, where she has served as both chair and vice-chair, gives her extensive insight into the issues Stafford County is facing in its schools and the experience to read, understand, and consider the impacts of policy.
Siegmund and her husband Steve have called Stafford County home since 2005, after spending many weekends exploring the area as tourists. They lived in South Stafford until 2016 and then moved to Austin Ridge in the Garrisonville District.
- The couple has four children attending the 2021-2022 school year with an eighth-grader at Rodney Thompson Middle School, fifth and third graders at Anthony Burns Elementary School, and a toddler still at home.
Potomac Local News spoke with Siegmund about her goal to become a member of the school board and other issues related to Stafford County Schools.
What inspired you to run for the School Board?
I have been serving on a School Board advisory committee for five years. I've learned a lot and met many incredible people. However, I noticed that there were no School Board members with young children serving, and I think that perspective is something missing from the board's deliberations.
