Position Papers
My Vision for Lincoln Unified: Putting Children First
I have seen first-hand how education can make a difference in the lives of children and families. That's why I believe passionately in putting the interests of children first in all decisions and activities at Lincoln Unified.
My Stand on the Issues
Academic achievement is my top priority. I will make it a districtwide goal and focus on programs and practices to ensure success for Lincoln's increasingly diverse population. I will ensure that Lincoln lives within its means and makes prudent budget decisions. I will also work to have open & responsive communication with parents and staff.
Endorsements
I want to run a campaign that is funded and supported by regular citizens who have a personal interest in the education and future of the children. I have walked door to door since mid-July and have enjoyed the positive experience of meeting and listening to Lincoln families.
