Strong finance scores and an A rating from the TEA may look good on paper — but they don’t tell the whole story. Three failed bonds speak volumes. Voters are asking for accountability, transparency, and smarter use of the resources we already have.

We saved money on insurance only after conservatives pushed for a competitive bidding process — something that should be the standard, not the exception. Every contract and agreement across the district should go through a competitive process to ensure we’re getting the best value for taxpayers.
At the same time, we have two campuses sitting underused and district property being given away — while we face growing needs for space and critical programs like afterschool care, especially for underprivileged students. Selling truly unneeded property can make sense, but not when it costs us opportunities to support our kids.

It’s time for common-sense leadership that respects taxpayer dollars, maximizes existing resources, and puts that savings back where it matters most — into classrooms, teachers, and programs that directly support student learning and well-being.

The Real Story Behind the TEA “A” Rating
An A rating and strong finance scores look good on paper — but they don’t reflect the full picture.
Three failed bonds show that voters are demanding accountability and smarter spending.
Fiscal Responsibility Starts with Competitive Bidding
We saved money on insurance after conservatives insisted on putting it through a competitive bid.
That approach should be applied to all contracts and agreements — not just a few.
Make Smarter Use of What We Already Have
Two campuses are underused while we continue to talk about new spending.
The district has given away properties when space is still needed for growth and programming.
Protect and Expand Student Support
Don’t sell off valuable space that could be used for afterschool programs, tutoring, or student wellness.
Invest savings back into the classroom — where it directly benefits students and teachers.
What I Stand For:
Common-sense leadership that respects taxpayer dollars
Smarter use of existing resources
A focus on academic excellence and student well-being
Support for teachers and programs that directly impact learning
