My Top Issues
Invest in local public education
Public education is an expression of democracy, open to all and established for the benefit of the individual students and society as a whole.
Enhancing transparency and accountability
Financial transparency and dealing with issue before they become problems is of the utmost importance to me.
Public education for safety measures
We need to work with local responders, utilize available technology, and train employees to have the safest schools possible.
