Teachers are the backbone of our public education system. When they are supported and trusted, students thrive. When they are silenced, attacked, or driven out, everyone pays the price.

Texas is losing educators at an alarming rate. Not because teachers don’t care, but because they no longer feel respected, protected, or heard.

This must change.

Teachers Are Professionals

Teachers are not political operatives.
They are trained professionals with deep knowledge of their subject areas, their students, and effective instruction.

Teacher support means:

Trusting educators as content-area experts

Respecting professional judgment in the classroom

Allowing teachers to teach approved curriculum without fear

Treating educators with dignity, not suspicion

When teachers are trusted, classrooms become places of growth instead of fear.

The Reality Teachers Are Facing

Across Texas, teachers are being:

Targeted for teaching state-approved materials

Accused of ideological agendas they do not have

Pressured to self-censor out of fear

Asked to navigate constantly shifting political demands

Many are exhausted.
Not from teaching.
From defending their right to teach.

No profession can function under constant threat.

Why Teacher Support Matters

When teachers are unsupported, students feel it immediately.

Teacher shortages grow.
Class sizes increase.
Course offerings shrink.
Burnout replaces innovation.

Students lose stability, mentorship, and opportunity.

Supporting teachers is not optional. It is essential to student success.

My Commitment to Teachers

As a former public school teacher, private school educator, and the owner of a tutoring and teaching business, I know what it takes to teach well and how deeply political interference harms classrooms.

On the State Board of Education, I will:

Defend educators from retaliation for teaching approved curriculum

Advocate for teacher autonomy and professional respect

Support clear, stable academic standards so teachers can plan and teach confidently

Oppose policies that encourage harassment or surveillance of educators

Elevate teacher voices in curriculum and policy decisions

I believe teachers should be partners in education policy, not targets of it.

Teachers Deserve to Be Heard

Teachers are leaving not because they lack passion, but because they lack support.

They want:

Clear expectations

Professional trust

Safe classrooms

The freedom to teach honestly

When we listen to teachers, we strengthen schools.

This Is About Our Future

Teacher support is not a partisan issue.
It is a student issue.
It is a community issue.
It is a future issue.

If we want strong schools, we must stand with the people who make them strong.

I am running to ensure teachers are respected, protected, and empowered to do what they do best: teach.

Stand With Our Teachers

If you believe teachers deserve trust, protection, and respect, I invite you to stand with us.
