As your Congressman, Ive honored that commitment by fighting fora balanced budget, for our veterans, to keep jobs in America, and todefend our way of life.

I fought to restore the Cost of Living Adjustment for ALL veteransand for the in-state college tuition rate they deserve. I supported theKeystone pipeline because it would put 20,000 Americans to work.

In Inyo County, Ive worked to ensure that public lands are used forthe public good. That means allowing use of places like Death ValleyNational Park for events and races which help our local economy.

KATHY ZACK AGE: 56

Occupation: Incumbent

Education and Qualifications: I am a 1976 graduate of the Bishopschool system and received my undergraduate degree from StanfordUniversity in 1980. I received my Masters in Business Administrationfrom the University of Chicago in 1984, and spent nearly 20 yearsin a career in healthcare and hospital management. My husbandand I have three children; one is in high school and the other twoare recent BUHS graduates. I have valued education my entire life,and nothing is more important to me than the education of ourcommunitys children.

I have served on the BUSD Board since 2006 and understand thechallenges and opportunities facing our schools. As a trustee, I keeplearning and achievement for all students as my primary focus. During

TAYLOR LUDWICK AGE: 33

Occupation: Veterinarian

Education and Qualifications: I was born and raised in SantaBarbara, CA and received my undergraduate degree from WestmontCollege in 2002. I completed a Masters degree in Agricultural andEnvironmental Chemistry at the University of California, Davis in

2006. I then received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from theUniversity of California, Davis in 2011. My wife is a fifth generationBishop native and graduate of the Bishop school system. We havefour young children, including a third grader, and a kindergartenerat Bishop Union Elementary School.

A mentor once told me Graduate from veterinary school, then learnhow to be a veterinarian. I believe this wise statement has a broaderapplication to education in general. The role of a school is to equipan individual with foundational tools necessary to pursue their chosenpath. The onus is then on the individual to use these too ls to completetheir journey. As a passionate lifelong learner who is still applyingthe tools Ive acquired through extensive schooling, I believe I bringunique perspective and appreciation for quality education. It wouldbe a distinct privilege to serve on the BUSD Board and ensure thatBishop students leave fully equipped with tools for the journey.
