QUESTION: Why are you running for office?Â
ANSWER: I am running for school board because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of the 6,600 students in our district. I am also running because I want more representation for elementary students, and I want to be a voice for them. Currently, 49% of Aledo ISD students are in elementary school, but only one of the seven trustees has a child in elementary school.
