Why run: "My kids are going to be in the system for the next 13 years. I have an opportunity make a positive impact for children in PoCo and around the district."

What issue: "I think there's an opportunity for cities and school boards to work more closely together Certainly there is a need for improvements in safety around schools and my time on the [city] transportation and public works committee would be beneficial."

Transparency: "I found it frustrating in the public meetings in the spring. They would put big numbers on the big screen and handouts with different numbers, and they would very quickly go through the numbers They are not as transparent as they could or should be."
