I believe every child is unique, capable and deserving of a great education. During my time on the School Board, I’ve learned that it takes a real, sustained commitment to ensure that all of our children receive the very best education that our city can provide. 

Having great schools requires leaders who are knowledgeable, trustworthy and responsive. I’m proud of my record standing up for students, teachers and families on important issues:

• Advocating for high-quality instruction and a rigorous curriculum
• Increasing pay for teachers and collective bargaining for employees 
• Modernizing aging school buildings and pushing for the resources that our students deserve

Alexandria is a community that understands our children and our schools are worthy of our investment. Sadly, over the last several years we’ve seen public education come under attack by national groups looking to play politics and defund public schools. 

We can’t let this happen. 

When our community unites around our shared value of investing in our young people, we will have the greatest impact. Join me in standing up for our students, teachers and for public education.
