South Milwaukee is so connected through our schools, there was an instance we told someone where we lived in South Milwaukee, and this person knew who our neighbors were and the people our neighbors dated in high school! What happens within our schools and the people in our schools impacts our whole city. I want to make sure that our heart here is protected and cared about. I want to make sure our schools are cared about as much as I care about my own students.

As a father, I encourage my daughters to be the best they can be because I believe deeply in their future. That same belief extends to every student in South Milwaukee. I want to help ensure our schools provide the support, opportunities, and encouragement our kids need to thrive. I believe in our students, I believe in our community, and I believe in the future we can build together — by strengthening the heart of South Milwaukee: our schools.
