"I believe that our future success depends on our ability to ensure that all of our children in Santa Ana get access to the best education and school facilities. Together as a community, we can bring our schools to a new level of academic achievement.
The Santa Ana Unified School District's challenges have never been greater. We must make every effort to address the problems of low high school graduation rates, truancy, lower expectations and the achievement gap, in order to move our school district forward.
On Election Day, our community will face a critical decision. I urge you to join me and make positive changes for the education of our youth in Santa Ana. This election is about our fair representation for all of our kids, and we need everyone working together to strengthen our community.
