Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Set policies to improve RISD's academic excellence
• Give parents in RISD a voice
• Empower great teachers to stay in RISD

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

RISD’s academic performance has been on the decline since 2010. As a public school district, outstanding academics should be our primary goal. We must work to close the achievement gap and improve educational outcomes in all student populations. Together we will work to restore a focus on academics that will grow every student and return Richardson ISD to a district of academic excellence.
