1 day until Election Day 🕚 California families are being squeezed from every angle. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about how to balance work and afterschool care.
As SPI, I’ll work to better align the school day with the workday to support working families.

As healthcare challenges continue to rise, meaningful physical education can make the difference between a sedentary lifestyle and a healthy one. If we get it right in K–12 education, our students will be better positioned to thrive well into adulthood.
