-My name is Joe Mizrahi,
and I'm honored to serve as your District 4 representative
on the Seattle School Board.
As a first generation American,
a parent of three Seattle public school students,
and a longtime labor leader,
I bring a deep commitment to educational equity,
fiscal responsibility, and community centered leadership.
I was appointed during a time of significant budget challenges,
and I've drawn on my years of experience managing
multi-million dollar budgets
to advocate for responsible fiscal strategies
that prioritize student learning and stability.
When dramatic school closures were proposed,
I worked with my colleagues and families and staff
to navigate these challenges,
helping to prevent devastating disruptions
for thousands of students and families.
My upbringing,
along with my parents experience as special education teachers,
taught me the value of inclusive education
and the importance of fighting for every child's
right to succeed.
I understand the real life consequences
of underfunded schools,
and I'm committed to expanding access
to high quality education and support programs across Seattle.
In my first months on the board,
I've worked to strengthen transparency and rebuild trust.
I've prioritized open communication with families,
educators, and school communities,
and I've listened deeply to what our students need to thrive.
I'm committed to continuing that work,
addressing our budget crisis with equity-focused solutions,
building stronger partnerships between schools and families,
expanding inclusive education,
and advocating for the funding that our students deserve.
Together, we can build a district
where every child has the tools to learn, grow,
and reach their full potential.
I respectfully ask for your vote to continue
serving our students and communities.
I'm proud to be endorsed by the 36th and 46th
and the King County Democrats.
Governor Ferguson, Congresswoman Jayapal,
and every state legislator in the 43rd and 36th district.
I'm also proud to have the sole endorsement
of the King County Labor Council,
along with community groups and unions
representing thousands of working families.
