Why I Am Running
Never have the basics of education been so important.
Our children are our most precious gifts in life. They deserve to have every opportunity afforded to them and an education that allows them to make the most of those opportunities.
Mental Health
The mental health of students, teachers, and administrators needs to be addressed and nourished. Parents need to know that their children are being cared for and instructed in a safe environment.
Back to the Basics
Coming out of the pandemic, there has been a varying decline in the academic performance of our students. We need to focus education back to the basics: reading, writing, mathematics. These fundamentals are the foundation to higher learning and success.
