If elected, what are your priorities?
“Student pathways. “I will expand paid internships, apprenticeships, workforce partnerships and career pathways while making college more affordable and addressing barriers such as housing, food, and transportation.…”

How should the district handle AI?
“AI will transform education and the workplace, and LACCD students must be prepared for that future. I view AI as a tool to support people — not replace faculty, staff or the human relationships essential to education.…”
