Good evening, everyone.

First, I want to sincerely thank the people of Visalia and everyone in Area 4 who took the time to participate in this election.

Although the results were not what I had hoped for, I respect the democratic process and the decision of the voters. I want to congratulate Dr. Todd Otto and wish him the very best as he continues serving our students, families, teachers, and the Visalia Unified School District community.

Running for public office is not something I took lightly. It meant putting myself out there, having difficult conversations, listening to people, and being willing to speak up about issues that I believe deserve attention.

Throughout this campaign, I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. Parents shared their concerns with me. Teachers and classified employees trusted me with their experiences. Community members took the time to have conversations and share their hopes for our schools. Those conversations meant more to me than I can put into words.

I entered this race because I genuinely believed there were important issues we needed to address, including transparency, employee retention, special education, school resources, financial accountability, and making sure our students receive the opportunities they deserve.

Just because the election is over doesn't mean these issues disappear.

I want to thank everyone who supported me, encouraged me, shared my campaign, and believed in what I was trying to accomplish. To everyone who voted for me, I am truly grateful for your confidence and trust. And to those who supported another candidate, I respect your decision as well.

Although I will not be joining the school board at this time, please know that my commitment to education, cultural awareness, and our community does not end here. I will continue being involved, listening, advocating, and doing what I can to make a positive difference.

I sincerely hope Dr. Otto will continue listening to the voices of parents, teachers, classified employees, and students. At the end of the day, regardless of who wins an election, we all have a shared responsibility to care about the future of our children and our schools.

I ran this campaign with my heart, my convictions, and a genuine desire to serve the community that has been my home for so many years.

I have no regrets about stepping forward. In fact, I am grateful I had the opportunity. Being on the ballot, meeting so many people, and having my voice heard was meaningful in itself.

Thank you, Visalia, for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to be part of this democratic process.

This isn't goodbye, and it certainly isn't the end of my involvement in our community. It's simply another chapter, and I look forward to continuing to serve in whatever ways I can.

Stronger Schools, Rooted in Culture.

Thank you, everyone. God bless you, our children, and the Visalia community.

I won by being on the ballot and my work will continue in education.

I will continue to work for the community and with Dr Oto to better the students.

As Election Day approaches, I want to encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote. Every voice matters, and every vote is an opportunity to help shape the future of our community.

It has been an incredible honor to be on the ballot and to run for Area 4 Trustee of the Visalia Unified School District Board of Trustees. I am also grateful to see my candidacy recognized once again in the news.

While I certainly hope the outcome is in my favor, I recognize that simply having the opportunity to run, share my vision, and represent the community has already been a meaningful achievement.

Thank you, Visalia, for giving me another opportunity to serve, for listening to my message, and for allowing me to be part of this democratic process.

Regardless of tomorrow's outcome, I am grateful for this journey and remain committed to making a positive difference in our community.

Please get out and vote. Your voice matters. Your vote counts.

I find it deeply concerning that Visalia Unified School District continues to have multiple Special Education Paraprofessional positions available while offering starting wages of approximately $19 per hour, even to applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree.

These positions require patience, dedication, specialized skills, and a genuine commitment to supporting students with disabilities. The compensation being offered raises serious questions about whether the district’s wages adequately reflect the responsibilities, qualifications, and demands of the job. I encourage community members to review these job postings and consider the disconnect between the expectations placed on employees and the wages being offered.

What makes this even more concerning is that passionate, dedicated individuals who genuinely cared about students have left the district under difficult circumstances, including concerns about workplace treatment and alleged retaliation.

Our students deserve qualified, supported, and valued staff. If we want to recruit and retain exceptional Special Education professionals, we must be willing to examine compensation, workplace conditions, and the treatment of employees. Supporting our students means supporting the people who work with them every day.

We cannot continue to overlook these concerns and expect different results. Our students, families, and dedicated educators deserve better.

Vote nov 3 !

My passion has always been making our schools stronger and creating meaningful opportunities for every student to learn, grow, and succeed. I firmly believe that investing in education means investing in the future of our children and the strength of our community.

I remain committed to advocating for our students, supporting our families, and working toward better opportunities for every school in Visalia.

Thank you, Visalia, for your confidence and continued support! Together, we can build stronger schools, rooted in culture, and a brighter future for every student.

I find it concerning when calls for unity, civility, and respectful dialogue come from individuals whose own approach to a campaign may not always reflect those same principles. Unity cannot simply be a talking point; it must be demonstrated through our actions, even when we disagree.

I have always been direct in my communication. I understand that directness may not always be received positively, but being straightforward should not be confused with an inability to negotiate, collaborate, or sit down for a meaningful conversation. I believe in addressing issues honestly, listening to different perspectives, and having the difficult conversations that leadership sometimes requires.

When we talk about accountability, we must be willing to look at the entire picture, including our own conduct. Accountability begins at the source, and it requires consistency between what we say publicly and how we treat others privately and professionally.

You cannot ask for unity without practicing it, demand accountability without accepting it yourself, or promote respectful dialogue while dismissing those who communicate differently.

For me, leadership is not about avoiding disagreement or pretending that every conversation will be comfortable. It is about having the courage to address concerns directly, the professionalism to listen, and the willingness to work toward solutions without compromising honesty or accountability.

That is the kind of dialogue I believe we should expect from anyone who speaks about bringing people together.
