Thank you to everyone who shared this journey with me. No act was too small. It took every knock, prayer, share, vote, etc. to get this far.

We took on a monumental task. Against all odds, we advanced through the primary and more than doubled down in the general.

We had the most growth and showed extreme promise. A true testament of our efforts and power is our ELECTION DAY WIN!

This was one heck of a crash course that did not end the way I intended. WE DID NOT WIN THE RACE THIS TIME. However, I have over 10K reasons not to lose faith.

I'm counting on you to stay plugged in and im counting on all elected leaders to do what is right.

Wherever my steps are ordered, I invite you to remain on this journey with me.

Education. Everywhere. Everyday

I know y'all want an update 🤣. I just couldnt let it consume me yesterday.

Out of 18,657 votes, we are trailing by 256 votes. That's less than a 1.5% gap to close. Y'all did that with me. ❤

Starting at 10am, the board of elections will start to count the remaining mail in ballots. This process could take days.

As updates come, I'll try to share. But, you may look whenever you have time by visiting the site below and scrolling to the bottom for District 6 Board of Education

Ashley, do you need anything?

Yes.

If you're in the area on November 8th, I need your help at the polls. Even if you are not able to do the entire shift, I could use support.

It's an honor to have the support of former District 6 School Board Representative Pat Fletcher. She understands the role and responsibilities of the board. I'm ready to build on the work of those who came before me.

The work put in by our teachers each day goes above and beyond the call of duty. Teaching is truly heart work.

I've coached hundreds of teachers and worked on the national level to consider ways that we can transform educator preparation.

My recent experience in the classroom, especially with the pandemic, has added a necessary lens that must be considered with policy creation.

I believe in centering teacher voice and am grateful to have teachers stand with me.

When I say educators, I'm talking about all education professionals. We all must be held to high standards. As a former instructional leader, it was important for me to bridge the gap between administration and teachers.

We are all working towards the same goal--educating and preparing our youth. It starts with shared leadership. It's an honor to have Assistant Principals stand with me.

All students have the right to a quality education. In schools with nearly 30% special education population, I've taught entire grade levels without a co-teacher and I've had situations where I've had inclusive cotaught learning spaces. I've seen the challenges of ensuring appropriate education and related services.

We have an added responsibility to ensure our students with special needs get the targeted supports they need to succeed and educators have the capacity to deliver.

I'm honored to know that special education teachers stand with me.

Parents deserve for us to deliver on our promises of providing their student with a quality education.

I have so many family members that have graduated from Prince George's County schools. They now trust the system with their child's future. I'm deeply invested in delivering and honored to know that so many recognize my ability to work hard with and for them with their students' best interest in mind.

Ms. Alvarado is a highly effective mathematics educator. Her success with all students, especially English Language Learners, is unmatched. I'm honored to have her stand with me.
