Communities deserve a voice in how their schools are run, and takeovers silence parents, teachers, and students while concentrating power in the hands of an unelected commissioner

I believe Texas should invest in strengthening its public schools rather than expanding a parallel charter system that drains billions of dollars from local districts without offering better outcomes for students.

A fully virtual education system is fundamentally incompatible with what we know about child development, cognitive science, mental health, and equitable learning.

Any state that does not fund public education adequately and fairly sends a clear message to its citizens that it does not value the education of children. 

Public schools should not be forced to do more with less.

Texas needs a school evaluation system that reflects what we really want to know about our schools.

Too often, policy treats teachers as problems to manage instead of professionals to trust.

Compliance does not lead to learning. Fear does not inspire growth. Learning happens when teachers have the space to teach and students have the space to try, make mistakes, and improve

When students feel curious, challenged, and connected, they thrive.

Students deserve an education that will help them analyze, design, argue from evidence, solve problems, and create new ideas.

Teachers deserve schools built on hope, trust, and opportunity — not politics, fear, or outdated ideas.

I am running because Texas students and teachers deserve schools built on hope, trust, and opportunity—not fear, politics, and outdated ideas. Too many of our education policies focus on compliance instead of learning, memorization instead of thinking, and mandates instead of meaningful support for teachers.
