From the Lexington Minuteman, January 26, 2012

I was glad to learn that Jessie Steigerwald is running for re-election to the School Committee. I have worked with Jessie on many school-related initiatives and know her to be a quick study, a can-do optimist and a creative problem solver.

What I find unique about Jessie is that she continually invites new people into the process.  Jessie builds community one person at a time.  To borrow a phrase from Malcolm Gladwell, she is a “connector” and wants to hear all voices at the table.  Lexington needs Jessie Steigerwald at the table. – Janet Lane, Hayward Avenue
