On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Educating our children so that they may live prosperous and productive lives. Creating a school system that teaches them to be great thinkers and learners, not just good test-takers. Create meaningful learning opportunities for all children where they are challenged to use their knowledge and own their ideas. Provide students with the skills they need to enter tomorrow's global workforce.
Why should voters elect you?
I personally understand the classroom and the daily challenges and rewards that exist. Education is my passion.
