I’m excited to officially announce my candidacy for the city of Somersworth school board, running as an at-large candidate.
As someone who was raised in this community, educated in our district schools, and who has proudly called this city home for over 30 years, I am deeply invested in the success of our schools. Not only as a past Topper, but as a neighbor, parent, and former educator.
My connection to our district runs deep: my wife is a long-time dedicated teacher in the district, and we are raising three children who currently attend our public schools. I understand the day-to-day realities facing both our educators and our families, and I’m committed to advocating for the support they need and deserve.
Having spent time in the classroom myself, I know firsthand the challenges teachers face. I’m running to ensure our educators are equipped with the tools, respect, and resources they need to help every student succeed. I want to additionally assure that families feel heard, supported, and involved every step of the way.
I also recognize the serious challenges our state is facing when it comes to school funding. Our district schools are being asked to do more with less, and it’s not sustainable. I will work tirelessly to advocate for fair and adequate funding, and to ensure that our schools are properly supported to meet the needs of every student.
Our schools are the heart of our community, and I believe strong schools start with strong partnerships involving teachers, families, students, and leadership. I’m committed to fostering transparency, accountability, and collaboration at every level of our school system.
Together, we can strengthen our district, empower our educators, and build a brighter future for all students who call a Somersworth school home.
I look forward to earning your support.
