WHY I'M RUNNING.

My Fellow Montanans,

As a parent, a teacher and a leader dedicated to a strong public education system throughout Montana, I am running to serve all Montanans as your Superintendent of Montana’s Office of Public Instruction.

A quality education is essential for every child to be successful in life.

​

As a Montana teacher leader and proud public school educator, I believe all children deserve the opportunity to be prepared for their future. Montana students need a fierce leader in their Superintendent, who will advocate every day on their behalf. I am running to be Montana’s next State Superintendent of Schools because I’m determined to restore competent focused leadership that will protect and promote quality public education for all.

​

As a public school leader, I have worked tirelessly to create a strong foundation of skills, knowledge, and love of learning in my students both in and out of the classroom. I have an understanding of what it takes in the classroom, within a district, and at the state level to ensure all students have the opportunity to be prepared for success.

​

I stand in support of our public schools. I will strive to have strong, effective public schools that empower our children to become well educated, well prepared and vibrant community members.

​

Sincerely,

DONATE NOW!
