CAMPAIGN + INDEPENDENT + NON-PARTISAN

I am self-funding my campaign. I am refusing donations from Republicans/Democrats, political action committees (PACS), and Special Interest Groups.

I am not accepting money or support from the teachers union. I find this to be unethical and a conflict of interest.

 VOTING APRIL 4th, 2023

I will be casting my votes for #121 Dombrowski, #125 Cramer, #127 Saam, & #129 Velez. I hope you will join me to realize a vision for D211 that improves academic performance, improves TWO-WAY communication, and improves financial health.
