As a conservative, I am running for school board to make sure our public education system is the best it can be for the tax dollars we spend. Many in our community today rely on our public education system. We spend plenty of money on public education. I will work to make sure we are getting the best return on our investment for our students. I will work to ensure accountability at all levels – the school board, administrators, teachers, students and parents. We must all do our part. While we need a strong public education system, I support school choice. The teachers union and progressives in the legislature have made school choice nearly impossible in our state. I will work to increase school choice options and to provide funding for those options, including home school. As a supporter of free markets, I believe school choice will ultimately make public education even more effective. Finally, in these times of high property taxes, I will work to limit the tax dollars we pay and to make sure our education tax dollars are spent most effectively. I am asking for your vote to return a conservative back to the Pasco School Board.
