Sen. Tina Smith reflects on 10 years in office, what she will do after 2026

3 weeks ago | pinejournal.com | Mary Murphy

ST. PAUL — From a young age, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith was taught to be civic-minded, but never imagined she'd be where she is now — preparing to close out two terms in Congress and 10 years in public office. Smith moved around a lot, growing up in New Mexico, Alaska and California. Her parents were always very politically active — her dad on the school board and her mom with the League of Women Voters.

ON EDUCATION: The importance of SROs to school safety

2 months ago | gwinnettdailypost.com | Mary Murphy

While she was Mayor of Norcross, Lillian Webb (who was first elected in 1974) included in the city’s budget the salary for one School Resource Officer at Norcross High School each year. Webb was ahead of her time in knowing the importance of SROs in keeping students safe. Now in 2025, the Gwinnett school system has increased its SRO force to 117 with more officers expected when the budget permits.

ON EDUCATION: Looking Forward To Covering Scholastic Issues In Gwinnett

Jan 19, 2025 | gwinnettdailypost.com | Mary Murphy

From my perspective after 28 years on the Gwinnett Board of Education, there is much to share about the good that education does for our students and our community. Through “On Education,” an opinion column, I will look at timely education issues, including school safety, growth, funding, academics, technology, and leadership. The goal for the columns will be to focus on the many ways education improves lives and communities through schools in Gwinnett and beyond. kAm$6CG:?8 @?
