 I believe that we can all agree that our schools should be places of education and inspiration and not of indoctrination. I believe that every kid matters without exception and that education forms the basis of effective citizenship and the promise of the American dream given by the founders of our great republic. I also believe the work, the time, and the resources we devote to our children is the measure of our community. I'm a supporter of explicit phonics reading instruction because it works and have prioritized quality vocational educational opportunities in our schools. Thank you for listening. I'm looking for your vote in the upcoming Republican primary.
