“Public education is the issue closest to my heart. As the mother of a son with autism and two children with dyslexia, I've spent more than 20 years advocating for my own kids and helping other families access the resources and support their children need to succeed.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
“I've seen how dedicated teachers and school staff change lives, but I've also seen how funding cuts often impact specialized programs, intervention services, and classroom supports that students with disabilities rely on. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential, regardless of their challenges or circumstances.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
