Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I strongly believe that a good education is the key to being an informed and engaged citizen. My philosophy: the most important educational relationship is between the one who teaches the student and the student and everyone's job is to nurture that bond. Every decision that I make as Superintendent of Public Instruction will follow that philosophy. When I decided to run for Superintendent of Public Instruction, I dedicated myself to be an advocate for the student; work tirelessly to ensure that all have an opportunity to learn; and to make sure that taxpayers are receiving good value for their hard-earned money.
