Udoagwu explained his reasons for running in 2014 in a candidate survey published by the district:
| “ |
I'm seeking to be a trustee on the fort bend isd school board because I truly believe that I can apply my training and experience as an educator to make a position contribution in our community (fort Bend isd). As a father of three school age children I firmly believe that giving our children a quality education that is globally second to none is the solid foundation needed for sustaining our democratic values. The future of our democracy depends on this. |
