- Campaign Statement
-
Without a vision the people perish. My vision for the Oakland Unified School District is built upon sound principles and includes everyone in in the process of preparing our schools for transformational change!
- Yes on Measure A!
-
Repairing our schools and sound fiscal management go hand in hand. Recent news that the Oakland Unified School District is having difficulty managing its financial affairs is cause for great concern. Yes we need new schools! We also need board members who can ensure that we get what we pay for!
- No on Measure D!
-
How does giving the mayor the authority to appoint school board members improve our schools. It doesn't! It justs gives him control! If the voters in Oakland had insight enough to vote for our mayor, shouldn't that same insight be used to vote for school board members who are capable of independent thought and possess the ability to get the job done?
