Current Parent of 3rd Gen Warriors + Omaha Native
Meet Incumbent Sarah Rider
For nearly a decade, I have been actively involved in various volunteer roles within the Westside community.
Involved in OUR district since 2016
As a dedicated advocate for education, election to a 6-year term on the board will continue to align with my desire to further serve District 66 and a cause that is truly a passion of mine. My involvement in the Westside community has given me a strong foundation to hit the ground running and keep pace.

I see a community that values tradition and takes great pride in its schools. As we move forward, it is essential to manage taxpayer expectations and maintain the momentum necessary to complete Phase 2 and 3 of the master plan.

I am a first-generation college graduate from this state and also the daughter of a skilled trade worker. I believe Westside produces graduates who are both career and college ready. The state of Nebraska needs both.
