01Teachers

I fought for unencumbered time.

More than a thank-you once a year. Protected time during the school day that is genuinely theirs.

02Coaches

I fought for competitive pay.

Supporting athletics means more than celebrating championships.

03Flint Hill

I voted no, and said why.

Not against the school. Because of unresolved concerns surrounding the neighboring facility.

04Independence

I vote for what I believe is right, not what’s easiest.

I’ve voted no on both a budget and a strategic plan when I believed we could do better. I look carefully at what’s in front of me, ask the hard questions, and vote for what I believe is best for our district.

You don’t have to guess how I’ll govern.

Look at how I’ve actually served.
