Why vote for me?

Times are tough now and students are in need of so much support. As the city of San Francisco, we could use someone on the school board of education who has K-12 experience in the SFUSD and can speak for student needs through all the different grades. 

For me, it’s personal. 

I’ve been fighting for SFUSD students for years. I participated in the School Board Recall from day one, volunteering long days to accumulate hundreds of petition signatures. I fought to bring back 8th grade algebra, and won. 

I am the guy who got SFUSD to follow the law when they spent $744 million worth of taxpayer bond money on school facilities in the dark. I single-handedly brought the district into compliance. I'm the only candidate who has been volunteering for the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee for years, partnering with the new auditors to make sure the money is spent well. I kind of like spreadsheets.

And I have been working for our teachers. I was there with the teachers when they slept overnight at the SFUSD main office to protest the terrible EmPower teacher payroll software—for reference, EMPower is the $14 million payroll system that failed to pay hundreds of S.F. Unified School District teachers and staff on time, and has been full of bugs and other issues since it was launched in 2022. I was a member of the Civil Grand Jury who reported on the district's poor practices in hiring and training teachers and we have brought improvements.

I’m running for School Board because the public schools of San Francisco made me who I am today, and I’m dedicated to giving back. 

I’m a SFUSD graduate who will put the students first. Vote for me.
