John Howe for Scranton

This is just one side of my family! Look how many children there are! People ask, "Why the School Board"..

The past 12 years of my life has revolved around children. Whether it is coaching them in various sports, or teaching them on Sunday mornings, I have dedicated my work and free time to the growth of our youth.

I truly believe in the concept of community. It is our duty, together, to ensure that the next generation is equipped with the tools necessary to be successful.

Take a look at my background and you can see that I have always been in the fight. Parent committees and Board liaison when my children were in Head Start.
Religious education teacher.
Advocating for Addiction Awareness in our community.
Civil Rights with the ACLU.
Coaching youth basketball, baseball, and football.
Creating a football training camp for underprivileged youth in our community.
Community Relations Director for Books in Bars LLC that advocates for higher education in the prison systems to reduce recidivism.
Strength and Conditioning Coach at the West Scranton Youth Center (NEPA ELITE WRESTLING CLUB)

This is just a short list of my many volunteer duties in our community. I also run a small business with my wife, and have experience in Administrative roles and the legal field.

This is who I am. I can't just sit by without being in the fight.

I hope to earn your vote on May 20th!

Hope to speak with you all soon!

I would like to thank all those who believed in me. I would especially like to thank my wife and children for their sacrifice during this election.

Also, I would like to congratulate Mr. Smurl on his victory. The job is not an easy one and I wish you the best of luck. The city is counting on you.

Even though I was unable to be victorious, I still feel like a winner. I entered this election as an unknown Independent prospect for City Council. The lessons I have learned along the way, and the bonds I have created, have given me something more valuable than victory.

Again, the best of luck to Mr. Smurl and all of those who won. We are all relying on you!
