A more just educational system is one where every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to high-quality education that meets their needs and prepares them for success. It is a system where resources are distributed equitably, ensuring that schools in underserved communities have the support they need to thrive. It is a system where educators are valued and respected, with fair wages, benefits, and working conditions that enable them to provide the best possible education for their students.

Justice requires collective action—it requires all of us to come together as a community and fight for what is right. That is why I am asking for your support in this election. Together, we will build a more just, fair, and equitable educational system for all of Oregon.
