Education By stressing to the school board members, the need for quality education, i.e. Present to the students the Basics, STEM courses, English, Civics, etc. I strongly believe our students need solid skills to compete in this world---and fluff courses are not fulfilling those needs. Education Additionally, I would like schools to continue to stress various shop classes. Not all kids are destined for college and the trades can provide viable career options. I’m not eschewing college but rather making sure that the schools [School Counselors] provide multiple choices for all students. Criminal Justice / Public Safety My philosophy is deeply rooted in the "Broken Windows" theory, which emphasizes addressing minor infractions and disturbances immediately to prevent their escalation into more significant societal issues. Taxes / Budget I strongly advocate for the advancement of both small and large businesses to stimulate job creation, bolster tax revenues, and enhance the vibrancy of our community.
