Thank you friends! I am excited to serve the kids of the SCSD for the next four years!

When we moved to Syracuse more than 12 years ago I had no idea I’d found the home and community I’d been searching for my whole life.

It is a gift to have the opportunity to serve as one of the Commissioners of Education for the Syracuse City School District.

I can’t wait to get to work on behalf of our kids.

Thank you for supporting me, friends.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Six candidates fought for three spots on the Syracuse city school board.

PLEASE GO VOTE TODAY! Polls open until 9PM!

If you live in the city of Syracuse please consider voting for me for school board! I believe in the SCSD. I trust the district to educate my children. But we must and can do better for our kids and teachers. I am ready to work relentlessly on their behalf.

Happy Pride from my family, especially my brave and beautiful boy.

Many thanks to Ed Smith and the SCSD for their support for him.

It takes a heck of a lot of grit to try a new sport when you are a teenager. And to deal with learning new skills while playing kids who know the game. These are the kind of boys I want my sons to be like.

Can’t wait to watch my own boy play Modified next year.

Hats off to Coaches Whitehurst and Miranda, and the entire team. You are part of what makes SCSD great.

Most players on Corcoran’s modified baseball team were trying something new this season, and they celebrated every success.
