WE NEED RENEWED LEADERSHIP!

Our children, parents, teachers, and community deserve a school system that truly listens and cares. It’s time for renewed leadership—leadership that focuses on solutions, not simply pointing out problems. I’m committed to reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, being responsible with every taxpayer dollar, finding ways to put more resources where they matter most—in our classrooms—and bringing real, practical solutions to the table.

I believe we can strengthen our schools, support our teachers, empower our parents, and give every student the opportunity to succeed.

On November 3, make your voice heard and vote for renewed leadership for Hernando County !

Vote Kara Champion for Hernando County School Board District 5.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, and the innocent lives we lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families whose lives were changed forever. We remember the courage, sacrifice, and unity that brought our nation together during one of our darkest days. 🇺🇸

We will always remember. We will never forget.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me throughout the primary election and helped me move forward to the General Election.

This campaign has always been about more than a title—it’s about my deep roots in Hernando County, my experience as a mother and local business owner, and my commitment to bringing my real-world leadership experience to public service. I was born and raised in Florida, built my career managing multimillion-dollar businesses, and am now proud to own a business here in Hernando County.

My family has been part of this community for six generations, and I’m raising the seventh generation here today.

The General Election is November 3, 2026, and School Board District 5 is one of the offices on the ballot.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue participating in this election and sharing my vision for renewed leadership, transparency, accountability, and results with the people of Hernando County.

🚨 ATTENTION HERNANDO COUNTY RESIDENTS🚨

At last night’s meeting, we heard about a proposed 23% increase in health insurance costs for our school district. Of course, the final cost still needs to be negotiated, but I believe we need to do more than simply talk about the problem—we need to find a real solution.

Hernando County Commission already has a model worth looking at. Their healthcare program is self-insured and provides a wellness center that utilizes CARE ATC for routine checkups, preventative care, and other services. This model is designed to reduce healthcare costs and has the potential to provide substantial savings. The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office also has a similar program.

When elected, I want to work toward creating a similar model for our school district. Our educators and school employees deserve quality, accessible healthcare, while taxpayers deserve a system that is financially responsible and focused on controlling costs.

And I want to be clear: I will shop around. I will look at different healthcare entities, compare costs and benefits, negotiate, and find opportunities to save the district millions of dollars in healthcare costs.

That's what I do as a businessperson. I look at the numbers, find efficiencies, negotiate, and make fiscally responsible decisions.

Our teachers and school employees are a critical part of Hernando County’s workforce. We need to take care of the people who take care of our children—while also being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.

I don't believe in simply pointing out a problem. I believe in bringing solutions to the table.

Fiscal responsibility will be at the top of my agenda.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to run for Hernando County School Board and to serve my community in this way. I want to sincerely thank every candidate who stepped forward, put their name on the ballot, and was willing to dedicate their time, energy, and heart to serving our community. Regardless of the outcome, I am grateful to be part of this process and proud of everyone who had the courage to step up and make a difference for our children and our schools.

What does my race mean now ?

It’s NOT Over!

I want everyone to know — IT’S NOT OVER! 🇺🇸

Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will move on to the November election for the final decision. That means we still have a fight ahead of us, and I need your continued support!

Keep those signs up!!! Keep talking to your friends and neighbors. Keep sharing our message. And most importantly, KEEP CAMPAIGNING! 💪🇺🇸

I am incredibly grateful for every single person who has supported me, believed in me, put up a sign, shared a post, made a phone call, or simply encouraged me along the way.

We are NOT done yet. We have work to do, and together we are going to keep fighting for our children, our schools, and the future of Hernando County!

On to November! 🇺🇸
