“I am running for school board because I believe that all children deserve a quality education. As a proud resident of Brookline, I am impressed by the fact that Hollis and Brookline are among the top five schools in New Hampshire. I want to keep them that way by supporting our schools and children as a member of the school board. I am looking forward to an energetic and positive campaign, meeting more community members, and tackling any challenges as we advance our public education system. The school board needs new members who are willing to focus on the mission of educating our students. If I am elected to the school board, I will do that.”
