Ordered My 1st Batch of Literature!

    

Today I ordered a 1000 flyers of my campaign literature.  It should come in by Monday, and I will have that in hand to start canvassing later in the week.

    I designed it with the help of a friend at Canva.com and, for a first attempt at creating political signage, I'm happy with where I landed.  I asked for a bit of feedback, and only got commentary about the ideal size (I landed on 8.5in x 11in) and that the URL was too long (I acknowledge the feedback, but will move ahead with this blog URL since it is free of charge).  

    The front of the flyer I aimed to make readable from across the room and really home in on visually what I want taken away by the viewer:  

  • Vote 
  • Samuel M. 
  • Roth 
  • for 
  • NJSD School Board
    I also put my picture to humanize me (though I wish to be judged on my ideas and behaviors instead my looks) and a QR code to this blog (to get folks to read about, and maybe even respond with some of their own, ideas).

    Knowing that there are not likely to be very many people who take the time to visit this blog, let alone read what's on it, not to mention commenting or interacting, the back of the flyer tries to bring together some key points which might be relevant for a voter to consider:

  • Father...
    • Translate:  I have skin in the game and want the best for NJSD.
  • Data analyst... fiscal responsibility
    • Translate:  I'm intelligent enough and aware of the cost implications to be trusted in the role.
  • Collaborative... thoughtful
    • Translate:  Not an ideologue, but someone who intends to learn develop well thought out solutions. 
  • Security, literacy and Societal Preparedness
    • Translate:  My talking points that help tether my ideas to some core principals.
    Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones to get these flyers :-).

Who Am I? Why Should You Vote for Me?

Image
Who Am I?        My name is Samuel M. Roth, and I am a husband and a father of two daughters who attend NJSD.  I've lived in Neenah, Wisconsin since 2019, previously living in St. Louis, Missouri.      My professional career has had me hold positions in Service Operations, Marketing and Data Analytics for varied industries including Life Sciences, Consumer Packaged Goods and Language Training.       In my spare time I like taking my dog to the dog park, playing pickleball, reading, watching football, playing music (piano and choir), and playing video and board games.            But my career and hobbies don't really tell you, a potential voter, who I am that is relevant to why you should vote for me.  Below I lay out my philosophical hopes for our public school district. Who Am I, that I want you to remember when you consider whether to vote for me?     I'm just a normal neighbo...

Who Are the Other Candidates?

Image
     I believe reliably good-faith sources of information to debate and base decisions is not a want, but a necessity for a functioning democratic society.  If truth is oxygen to democracy, then education is the lungs.       In furtherance of that belief, I've provided some sources below which I believe you can trust as good-faith representations  of the candidates seeking your vote on April 7th, 2026.      In alphabetical order by last name, here are the candidates reported by the Post Crescent as running for NJSD Board seats and sources for you to learn more about them. Official / candidate-maintained sources of information: Blanton, Christian Facebook: Christian Blanton for Neenah School Board Hanby, Tom I've reached out to him via email, and will meet him for a one-on-one meeting after the school board meeting on February 17th, 2026.  I don't believe he has much of an online presence, but if you'd like to contact him...

Media Requests | Candidate Profiles and Voter Guides

Image
    Today I responded to media requests from LWV of Winnebago County for their 411 Voter Guide Questionnaire and Post-Crescent.  Here's what I submitted (below). Vote411: What professional and community related experience do you have that will make you an asset on the Neenah School Board? I’ve worked in management, marketing, and analytics across training, consumer packaged goods, and life sciences. These roles have developed skills directly relevant to board service, including data analysis, clear organizational communication, and process-oriented decision-making. In the community, I’m the father of two NJSD students (1st and 6th grade), a member of the NEWvoices Choir, and a regular participant in library programs and events. What are the two most important issues facing the Neenah Joint School District? How do you propose these issues be addressed? The two most pressing issues are long-term financial sustainability and public understanding of school funding. These chal...
