WASHINGTON, Pa. — A Washington-area mother and special education teacher has announced her candidacy for Register of Wills in May’s Republican Primary. South Strabane resident Christi Wiles Thomas made the announcement official Thursday. Wiles Thomas is a former county real estate broker and graduate of W&J College and Chatham University. She has served as a special education teacher with Agora Cyber Charter School for 10 years. Wiles Thomas says she chose to run at this time to do what she enjoys most — being around the people of the county and to be the conservator of such unique times of peoples’ lives. The candidate says she intends to honor what is going well with honest communication, as well as tweak what needs to be tweaked for the benefit of the residents.
