Leading On Issues

I want transparency. The public must be able to see what's going on and hold leadership accountable. I apply that principle to myself, which is why I've stated my positions below in detail. I'm not part of the consensus that rubberstamps failing policies.

 

We need a change, a new voice, a fresh perspective. We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. We need to listen to students, parents, and teachers. Over the past five months, I've knocked on nearly 5,000 doors and spoken with more than 2,000 residents face-to-face. Every few days, I get emails and calls from parents — some worried, some frustrated, many simply asking for help or offering a hand.

 

I will be your shield, and I will be your voice. Not the voice of special interests. Not the voice of complacency, and not the voice of going along to get along with what has been failing.

Choose Integrity - walk the talk

What happens when actions contradict words? Integrity means staying true to your words, using them with care, and giving everyone a voice.

On the topic of Equity & Equality

Equal opportunities must be provided, and every student deserves to have some stake, some equity, in learning.
