-We deserve a school district that families can trust.
I'm running to hold leadership accountable,
protect equitable, high-achievement programs,
ensure classroom inclusivity,
and support every student's unique needs.
I've seen firsthand how instability
and out-of-touch leadership hurts our kids.
When the district proposed closing dozens of schools,
including where my children attend,
I organized hundreds of families to push back.
I co-founded the Billion Dollar Bake Sale,
an organization dedicated to fully funding
every school statewide,
and developed a detailed data analysis
to better inform legislators and local officials
about how enrollment manipulation has exacerbated
our understaffing crisis.
We are facing real challenges,
from enrollment declines and budget cuts
to a lack of clear answers,
all of which are eroding confidence
that the district is serving our kids.
We need real transparency of the entire district budget,
not only at the individual school level.
Our district must foster authentic community partnerships
and make decisions that better reflect the needs
of all students, regardless of means or ability.
As a public school parent who's been deeply involved
in our community issues for over a decade,
I'm ready to make progress on day one.
I will fight to expand mental-health services,
keep guns out of our schools,
restore equitable advanced learning,
expand access to student-centered programs,
and direct resources to classrooms instead
of bureaucratic district office overspending.
I am deeply invested in my Rainier Beach
and South Seattle community.
Whether it's volunteering at Seattle Children's,
fundraising for the Rainier Valley Food Bank,
or organizing neighborhood kids' clothing swaps,
I will continue to push to ensure
that my community's concerns are heard and supported.
I am proud to be endorsed by the Seattle Education Association,
the 37th, 43rd and 32nd Legislative Democrats,
the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, and more.
