Campaign themes
2014
Prescott provided the following statement on his Facebook campaign page:
| “ | I am running for the Phoenix Union Governing Board because our students deserve an equal opportunity to a quality education. Right now, our students are being left behind. They do not have the same opportunities as other students, nor are they always prepared to seize these opportunities when they occur. As a South Mountain High graduate and Phoenix native, I know that our students can achieve great things when properly supported. As a community organizer, I have trained students in leadership, allowing them to change their communities. On the Governing Board, I will encourage academic excellence, protect our students, and find new savings through sustainability. I need your support to accomplish this. Please support today with a donation, volunteering, or voting Prescott for Phoenix Union.[6] | ” |
