Quality education is extremely important to me.  I am a third generation graduate of the Denver Public School system, a system which I support wholeheartedly.  Our education system in Colorado and the City of Denver has its challenges; however, the Denver City Council does not have direct jurisdiction or authority over the school system.

I would, though, focus on jobs and the economy as your next City Councilman.  If we can get our economy on track so parents don’t have to work multiple jobs, then we create time for them to focus on their kids, participate in the Denver Public School system and address the State’s lack of funding for our schools.

Second, my office will work with the Denver Public School system to keep our community adequately informed.  We will host public community forums with members of the school board and State Representatives and State Senators.  I will also endeavor to create internships and volunteer opportunities for our youth.
