On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

As a candidate for the State Board of Education, the most urgent problem is too many of our children have been passed through the school system, while others have not received the services they are entitled to. Simply, we have failed to educate our children. Our failure sets up these children to fail to achieve their individual greatness.

Why should voters elect you?

A quality education is the most important gift we can present to our children, and I will fight to see that they get it.
