Get StartedEducating our students should always be the top priority for our School Board, not pushing political agendas. For far too long, the Board, egged on by my opponent, has been playing politics with our schools, pushing a personal, radical agenda. I will stand against intolerant and extremist politics in our classrooms and fight for a learning environment where everyone is accepted and appreciated. Learn more

I believe that our public schools need to be inclusive of all students. We should strive to create a welcoming atmosphere in all of our actions and communications for all our students regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability.

As a former classroom teacher, I know that teachers, not politicians, know what’s best in the classroom. I will listen to teachers to ensure they get what they need to succeed. Our classrooms need resources, not more red tape. My experience as a businessman demonstrates that I will get things done. I will invest in our children, not more burdensome administration. I will expand after-school programs, extracurricular activities, and career training programs and prioritize science, technology, and math in our schools. Learn more
I strongly believe in local control of our schools and that the community should have a say on the decisions that affect them. The current Board of Education, led by my opponent, has been overriding local boards in favor of its radical political agenda. I will ensure that all schools funded by public dollars have proper and fair oversight. Put simply, a vote for me is a vote for public schools. Learn more
Everyone deserves access to quality education and training to prepare them for the job force. I will invest in local community colleges so that our children can receive an affordable, quality education. I also understand that college isn’t the right fit for everyone. I will bring unions and local schools together to increase vocational and apprenticeship programs so that everyone receives the tools they need to excel in the workforce. Learn more
My top priority is to make sure that kids feel safe going to school. Studies show that our students today are confronting unprecedented rates of anxiety, stress, and depression while in the classroom. As a member of the school board, I will fight to give our schools the resources they need to address teen suicides, reduce dropout rates, and create initiatives to confront bullying. Learn more
