Happy Cooks Day to the incredible school cooks and nutrition staff across Marion County!

You do so much more than prepare meals — you help fuel learning, brighten days, and care for our students with hard work and heart every single day.

For many children, the meals you serve are an important part of their day, and your kindness never goes unnoticed.

Thank you for the early mornings, long hours, and dedication you show to our schools and community.

As a candidate for Marion County Board of Education, I believe our cooks and service staff deserve respect, support, and appreciation for the vital role you play in student success.

Please remember to vote May 12th.

I want to sincerely thank the Chamber of Commerce for hosting today’s Board of Education forum. It was a great turnout, and it’s encouraging to see so many members of our community engaged in the future of our schools.

Opportunities like this help foster open dialogue, transparency, and collaboration which is exactly what our county needs moving forward. I appreciate the effort that went into organizing such a well-run event.

Thank you again for bringing our community together!

Right now, Marion County doesn’t have a school board problem…
We have a communication and leadership problem.

When a board is divided, nothing gets done.
When there’s no transparency, the community loses trust.

That ends with me.

I’m running for the Marion County Board of Education to UNIFY the board—because progress only happens when people can work together, even when they don’t agree.

And I will bring REAL TRANSPARENCY back to our schools—because parents, teachers, and taxpayers deserve to know what’s happening, not be left in the dark.

No agendas.
No division.
Just results.

✔️ Open communication
✔️ Team-first leadership
✔️ Accountability to YOU

It’s time to move forward—together.
