The clear choice for Board of Education in District 6
Many positive things have happened since I was first elected to the Anne Arundel County Board of Education four years ago. I ran for re-election to continue and expand on those accomplishments. My colleague Dana Schallheim, who represents District 5 on the board, and I recently published an op-ed highlighting those accomplishments and what we still have to do. As always, we are focused on our students’ educational outcomes and the facts.
Dear Neighbor,
While the results will not be official until November 15, the Board of Elections currently shows I received 65.69% of the vote while my opponent received 33.13% (a margin of slightly more than 32 points).
I could not have done this alone, and there are so many to whom I owe thanks. First and foremost, I'm profoundly grateful to the 22,090 voters who placed their trust in me, giving me the opportunity to continue to do the work that I love on behalf of our children. To those for whom I was not their choice, I pledge to always hear you and represent you to the very best of my ability.
Beyond that, I owe thanks to so many who gave of their time, effort and treasure to support my campaign. To those who came out over and over again, whether it was hot or cold, rainy or sunny, to knock doors, write postcards, or post signs, I can never thank you enough. Similarly to those who hosted events, made donations, and shared my message with their friends and neighbors, you made this possible. While all eyes were on the national races, each of you demonstrated your commitment to the critical importance of local elections to the future of our community. Please never stop.
Thanks to your efforts, I will be able to continue the work that I began in 2020, laser-focused on improving student outcomes. There are a number of uncertainties in the education arena, particularly on the national level, that will likely face us in the next four years. My promise to you, however, remains constant. I will never stop working to ensure ALL our students have the opportunity to receive the education—and the future—they deserve. No exceptions.
