Why did you decide to run for this office in 2025?
To ensure the affordability and quality of college education and job training for working class people
If elected, what will be your top three priorities in office?
Ensure affordability of tuition, maintain and grow high-quality programs and curriculum, and promote transparency to the voters
What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?
To be honest, I think the entire race itself is overlooked. People in general don't really seem to know that there is a college board, or what it does. So, if elected, I'll work with my colleagues to inform the public.
What is your position on the issue of taxpayer-funded lobbying? Please explain.
It shouldn't be happening. If it must happen, then it should be directly giving money back to the taxpayers in some manner.
Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?
I am accountable solely to the voters. I have no big donors, no interests standing behind me, and no one's hands in my pocket. I want to serve the public and make sure that quality education is available to everyone.
