Here is just a sample of what some people have to say about Marsha:

As an accomplished teacher, Marsha has profoundly impacted the lives of many of our young people and their parents. As our next State Representative, she will work tirelessly to defend our community interests at the Capitol.

Representative government requires people who listen well, who articulate creative solutions, and who respect their constituency. Marsha Swails will be that competent voice speaking up for our district.

Sensitive to the needs of her constituents, Marsha adds her knowledge and steadfast sense of what is right to solve problems and bring resolution. She is a superb mentor to our students and a thoughtful friend for all segments of the community.

Marsha's volunteer efforts in the community and planning student trips to Europe demonstrate her unique abilities as an educator and her honest desire to be a positive mentor for young people.

Mrs. Swails supplemented our texts with extra activities and raging debates. By the end of our time with her we were competent literary analysts, grammatical and punctuation machines, and poetry cranking bards.

Marsha has a wonderful gift for accepting the egocentric and often harsh adolescent viewpoint for what it is: a maturing developmental phenomenon--a work in progress. ... I speak for many parents when I say we are so blessed she is a part of our children's lives and that they have her for a role model.
