My Top Issues

Invest in local public education

Phones in the classroom distract from learning. I support clear limits during class while allowing responsible use outside of instruction. Every student deserves a safe and practical way to get to school. We should strengthen routes, not create new barriers for families.

School-Based Mental Health Programs

As an HR professional, I am prepared to help hire a Superintendent who leads through collaboration, prioritizes academics and safety, and is accountable to families and taxpayers.

Implementing sound financial management practices to maintain balanced budgets

Like you, I feel the impact of rising property taxes. My focus is on using existing resources efficiently before adding new financial burdens and raising taxes.
