Running for school board is deeply personal for me. It’s about our kids, our classrooms, and the future we’re building together. I’m stepping into this because I’ve seen the gaps and I know we can do better.
As someone who’s always been more comfortable lifting others up than asking for help, putting this out there feels vulnerable. But the truth is: we can’t do this without support. Campaigns take time, energy, and yes, resources.
Your contribution helps us reach more families, get materials into people’s hands, host events, and make sure our message is heard. It allows us to do this in a way that reflects care, honesty, and heart.
Whether you give $5 or $50, every bit helps us keep moving forward. And if a donation’s not possible right now, that’s okay, there will be plenty of other ways to be part of this.
Thank you for being here with me. Truly.
