I am excited to share that I am running for re-election to Seat B on the Anchorage School Board in the April 1, 2025 election!

Since being elected to a one-year term in 2021 and being re-elected to a full term in 2022, I’ve been laser-focused on improving conditions for student learning and advocating for the resources they need.

I know that decreasing class sizes, strengthening our neighborhood schools, and improving our rates of teacher retention are three of our community’s highest priorities. But I also know that we can’t attain those goals without adequate education funding.

That’s why I’ve regularly provided testimony to the Legislature, collaborated with school board members across the State, and worked to write and pass two Joint Resolutions with the Assembly about the fair, inflation-adjusted education funding required to decrease class sizes and improve student outcomes.

My commitment to meeting our students’ needs and fighting for our community’s priorities are also why I’ve authored several opinion pieces highlighting the Legislature’s constitutional responsibility to maintain public schools, illuminating the State’s need to adjust the Base Student Allocation to account for inflation, and demonstrating that our community is deeply supportive of its programs of choice and neighborhood offerings, alike.

This commitment is also why I have collaborated to hone our Board goals for specific student outcomes and led key policy changes in support of student wellness, clarifying the use of AI, and ensuring that District resources are aligned with our goals. Just a few weeks ago, I helped get an up-to-date cell phone policy across the finish line.

It has been a privilege to serve our community in this capacity for nearly four years and I would be honored to earn your support to be able to serve for three more.

Your contributions to this campaign are greatly appreciated!
