Erin is an amazing mom, and a valued community member in Anoka, MN. That school board needed a shake-up and Erin was the perfect candidate to do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erin is an artist, but asked for my help creating a logo and honing her color choices. Erin sent me some hex codes and a blank canvas! She knew she wanted some kind of iconography that was evocative of children, but didn&#8217;t want to be cliche. After attending a few events, she was sold on an open book. After hearing Erin&#8217;s inspiring goals for the future of the school board, I knew a sprout from the book and her slogan &#8220;growing our future together&#8221; would be a winning combination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacqui.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ErinWebSign.png\" alt=\"A fresh green font is used to advertise Erin Heers-McArdle for Anoka-Hennepin School Board.

Her logo captures that completely! After making the logo, Erin&#8217;s slogan came immediately: Growing Our Future Together. It&#8217;s pretty fun to help a friend run for office. It&#8217;s really cool to see a sign you made plastered throughout the community you grew up in! Even neater is that Erin&#8217;s signs outnumbered her opponent&#8217;s and she ended up winning her election! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"393\" height=\"892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacqui.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ErinMailer.png\" alt=\"A mailer used in the school board race for door-to-door outreach.
