I’m not a career politician. I’m a soldier who vowed to protect, a trained security expert who safeguarded school grounds, a single father of a beautiful middle school girl with special needs, and an experienced board leader who brought common sense, collaboration, problem solving, and effective governance to boards. For me, it’s always about doing what’s right and best for our people. To rebuild DPS, we need leaders who have one goal: to get things done for our students, teachers, and our Denver communities.
An Inclusive & EXPERIENCED Leader
It taks a village to bring up our kids. This campaign is for all of the kids in DPS and we can’t build a strong school district without your help. Join us to bring accountability, safety, and focus on education excellence back to our schools.
I will be out in the community speaking with parents, students, educators, community leaders across Denver. My job is to listen to all concerns and bring common sense and sound judgement to turn your concerns into good policies and programs to support our students’ needs.
I am counting on all of us to fight for our school safety and education excellence. We need an engaged community and effective leaders to make that happen. Add your name to tell Paul you’re in.
