On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
A school board that is not responsive to "We the People": parents, teachers, students and taxpayers. The school board has become disengaged with the voice of the community. In light of the changing demographics within Fairfax County, stronger community engagement on key policymaking that is student-centric, fiscally effective, equitable, accountable and transparent needs to be the new norm.
Why should voters elect you?
As a servant leader, I pledge to fully engage and value our community's voice with a focus on continuous improvement to benefit all students.
