Gladiator Nation

08/17/2026

Thank you, Roma ISD!

Filing closed today, and we're humbled to share that all three of us will be serving on the Roma ISD Board of Trustees for the next four years.

We ran together because we believe the same thing: our kids deserve a board that shows up, asks the hard questions, and answers to you.

Thank you for trusting us with our children's education. Three seats. One commitment: our doors stay open.

Gladiator Nation — let's get to work. ❤️🖤

Gracias, Roma ISD!

Hoy cerró el plazo para registrarse, y con mucha humildad les compartimos que los tres estaremos sirviendo en la Mesa Directiva de Roma ISD durante los próximos cuatro años.

Nos lanzamos juntos porque creemos lo mismo: nuestros niños merecen una mesa directiva que se presente, que haga las preguntas difíciles, y que les responda a ustedes.

Gracias por confiarnos la educación de nuestros hijos.

Tres puestos. Un solo compromiso: nuestras puertas quedan abiertas.

Roma nos crió. Ahora nos toca a nosotros trabajar por Roma.

Gladiator Nation — manos a la obra. ❤️🖤

Salineño, thank you. 🙏

We came out last night with school supplies for the kids and gave away every last one. ✏️ It was a good turnout and we appreciate everyone who made the drive.

Thank you to the families who came out and to the folks who stayed a while to talk about what our schools need. ❤️

We're doing it again this Sunday in Roma. 📚 Free school supplies for students, while supplies last.

Hope to see you there.
