Dear Friends,

Who serves on our school board over the next four years is very, very important. Our schools are at the heart of what makes Arlington a great community. Their quality is not inevitable, since our schools face a structural deficit over the years to come that we must come together to close. You can vote electronically by going to this link and requesting an email ballot before 5 pm tomorrow, Friday, May 10th: Arlington Democrats School Board Endorsement Vote Participation Form (jotform.com) ([link removed])

There are two open seats due to the decisions not to run for reelection by Cristina Diaz-Torres and David Priddy. I have endorsed Kathleen Clark and Zuraya Tapia-Hadley. To see their websites go here: Kathleen Clark for Arlington School Board (kathleenforarlingtonschoolboard.org) ([link removed]) and Zuraya Tapia-Hadley (zurayatapia4schoolboard.org) ([link removed])

Kathleen Clark is a dedicated and committed leader of our schools. Her enthusiasm for helping families overcome obstacles and achieve academic success and her deep knowledge of how the school system works will enable her to serve Arlington well. She will focus on getting the best outcomes for all students, strike the right balance to thoughtfully invest in student success, and ask the right questions on school budgets, facilities, and instruction. Please join me in voting for Kathleen Clark.

Watch this 2-minute video from Zuraya Tapia-Hadley about why she wants to serve and is ready to do so.

Zuraya Tapia-Hadley’s experience as a parent and career in communications, policy and advocacy equip her to serve Arlington well. Her priorities—safety, quality education for all, and transparency—align with this moment and my views about the leadership we need on the School Board. I endorse Zuraya enthusiastically and hope you will join me voting for her in the School Board Caucus.
