1. What unique qualities distinguish you from the other candidates currently running or who are now serving on the Governing Board? What makes you different than the others?
Experience. I have 9 years experience in Arizona school law as General Counsel of the Arizona School Boards Association and have been an advocate for public education in this state for longer than that. It is my job to answer the legal questions and train school board members as to their legal responsibilities for 230 school districts throughout this state. With all due respect, no one in this race knows Arizona public education like I do.
I have been a board member in Madison for four years and have served with distinction. It has been my honor to have been chosen by my fellow board members to be their Board President for the last two years.
