I have years of career experience in evidence-based decision making. Give me data, give me information, and you'll have a board member who can make better decisions. I am running a grassroots campaign and will not be accepting campaign donations. I hope that you will keep in touch with my goings on via Facebook and when you see me around Davis. Please don't hesitate to be in touch. I would love to know what you are thinking. In particular, I want to hear from those of you who are not satisfied with perpetuating the status quo on important educational issues in Davis. I love a good discussion and I am not afraid to tackle controversial issues.
