On November 3rd, vote for the educator. I’ve spent my career uplifting students in and out of my classroom. Now, I’m running for the State Board of Education to make sure Texas uplifts every public school student. If you believe Texas should put students first instead of politics, then I'm your candidate. It's time to get our kids reading and doing math at grade level. It's time to prepare our graduates for the real world, not a test. It's time to fight for our public schools in Austin and

I'm running for the Texas State Board of Education because of my students. I couldn't stand aside as our elected officials made decisions that harm my community. In early 2025, it became clear to me it wasn't enough for me to teach English. If I believed in serving my students, I had to be willing to serve them beyond my classroom. SBOE is not the most glamorous position, nor is it the most powerful. And I don't need another title. I chose to run for SBOE because it's the position where my

It’s about making sure every child can read, write, and do math. It's about preparing our high school graduates for the real world, not just a test. If you feel the same sense of urgency that I do, then we can’t stand aside. We need all eyes on the Texas State Board of Education. We all need to fight for our public schools.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
