Why I'm Running

Steady, Strong Leadership

It has been my honor to serve on the Minneapolis School Board since 2008. I am seeking reelection to the Board for two reasons.

First, I believe my work on the board is not done. Every day I think about the 34,000 students in our schools, and every day I want to do more to prepare them for a successful future. Right now our schools are poised to make significant gains in student achievement, and I believe I have the governance skills to help make this happen.

Second, I offer the expertise and continuity that is so vital to an effective school board. As the only incumbent board member seeking re-election, I believe I can provide the experience and leadership needed for the governing body of a complex, richly diverse district with a $680 million dollar budget.
