Campaign Statement

Where there is no vision, the people perish. . . I believe in educational opportunity for each and every child of the WCCUSD.

This means:

- Each child is entitled to have access to world-class educational resources. This includes equipment, textbooks and supplies and the personnel to utilize them properly.

- Each child is entitled to a safe, secure and stable educational environment that begins from the moment the child leaves home in the morning and ends when that child returns home that afternoon

- Each child is entitled to a team of well qualified, well motivated and committed teachers, administrators and staffers who are accountable for that child's education.

I am the right person at this time because I live in the community that represents the majority of children in this district, I have been involved in the community for most of my adult years, and I am committed to fighting the good fight for our kids and our community's sake. Please help me make the vision a reality.
