My name is Annie Gehring, and I am running to be your next state representative for Carroll County District 4, which covers Wakefield, Brookfield, Effingham, Eaton and Freedom. I have lived in Wakefield, Carroll County, for 43 years and am retired after 25 years as a reading specialist. I currently serve as a member of the Wakefield School Board and the Wakefield Heritage Commission. My life's work has been investing in our community's future.
My political journey reflects how many of you feel. I was a registered Republican until around 2009, when I felt the party had shifted. I became an independent to focus on people, not platforms. In 2016, knowing I needed to get more involved to make a difference, I joined the Democratic Party. But let me be entirely clear: I am not running to represent a political party. I am running to represent all the people of Carroll County District 4.
