Get StartedFor too long, our education system has been turned into a battle between parents and teachers. Our education system was best when parents and teachers were on the same page about doing what was best for our children. Our best schools today still maintain a healthy and productive relationship between the parent and the teacher. I am committed to working school district by school district to rebuild that relationship where necessary. We can no longer continue to blame one side or the other for the failures in our system. We must come together to save our children. Learn more

With the majority of our tax dollars going to education, I am committed to creating a “user friendly” office that makes it easy to track where the dollars are going and eliminate wasteful spending. Learn more
