Why are you running? I want to use my education/professional background to positively impact my community.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? Our district has been committed to in-person learning throughout the past year. We have worked hard to find innovative ways to keep our kids in the school buildings as much as possible. I want to continue to be focused on what is best for the students of our district in every decision that we make.
Why should people vote for you? I believe the most important job of a member of any board is to keep one’s own ego in check and stay focused on making decisions for the good of the cause of the board. A school board’s cause is the students. I try at all times to make decisions based on what is best for our student population in Red Bud.
