I am the President of the Berkeley School Board, a board member with the California Latino School Boards Association, an elected Democratic Party leader, and a mom of two wonderful boys. I am running for re-election because our schools face critical budgeting decisions that will require difficult conversations in the next few years. Having these conversations will take experience and I believe that my continued service on the School Board is necessary to ensure that we keep equity at the forefront for all learners as we make these important decisions.
