Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026★Nonpartisan★Trustee Area No. 4
why I’m running
“I know firsthand what it means to advocate for your child.”
My wife and I are raising our four children in Norwalk, and all four of our children receive special education services in NLMUSD. I know firsthand what it means to advocate for your child and to want to know that they are safe, supported, heard, and given every opportunity to succeed.
I am running to bring a parent’s perspective to the School Board and to provide leadership that is present, accessible, and accountable to the people it serves.
