Safety in the public schools is my main priority. I want school police back on every high school campus and will support the police with training, new recruits, and funding. In addition, I favor bringing active neighborhood watches to every community.
I supports school choice, which allows every parent to decide which school is best for their child. Parents deserve schools that will ensure their children’s proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. I believe that state and federal money should follow the student, and not be assigned to a failing school system that ranks in the bottom third in the nation. Currently, some LAUSD students are given high school diplomas without proficiency in English or Math.
I am dedicated to making District 46 a safe place to live and raise a family. In the Legislature I will fight to repeal SB 9 and SB 10, which will help preserve the integrity of our neighborhoods. I am a person who can get the job done and she will fight for the rights of every District 46 resident. I have the Common Sense Solution.
- Safety First
- Proficiency for all in schools
- Provide the homeless with mental health facilities, counseling and drug rehabilitation centers
I am passionate about reducing Inflation, public safety, school choice, lowering state fees and refunding the police.
