So what are the “issues” in this election? Actually, that’s not for me, or any other candidate, to decide. I am not going to bring you a list of self-serving ‘issues’ and then use these ‘issues’ to create talking points and propaganda to put myself in some favorable light.

So if I’m not going to deliver a plateful of fabricated issues, what are you going to get by voting for me? It’s simple: A voice. Your voice. An ear. My ear to hear your voice. The ‘issues’ will be decided by you, the voters. As an elected representative of this community, my purpose will be to listen to what you have to say, listen to what other stakeholders have to say, and weigh those opinions and concerns along with all of the other facts as items come before the school board.

Don’t let someone tell you what the issues are. That’s backward. Constituents and stakeholders are supposed to tell representatives what the issues are, not the other way around. I won’t tell you what you want to hear. Rather, I will tell the other board members what you have to say.

I thank you in advance for your vote on June 7th so that I can represent your voice. It’s about ALL the kids and about ALL those that have their best interests at heart.
