I am running for school board because I believe every child has the right to a world-class education in their local schools. To protect and strengthen our public schools, we need a school board that is highly engaged with students, families and staff.

Public education is essential for a healthy democracy. Our schools need to prepare students for community leadership, as well as college and career. As a board member, I will go the extra mile to fight for public education at every level—district, state and federal.

I would be honored to receive your vote.
