What is the Endorsement Process?

In this video, I elaborate on the endorsement process and its 3 steps: questionnaire, interview, and outcome. As a first-time candidate, this process was completely new to me, and I can empathize with voters who want more transparency on the meaning of an endorsement. I believe in transparency and open communication, and elaborate on this in the interview.

As a candidate, I strive to give objective, data-driven answers that speak for parents, educators, and students and represent my objectives of holistic education, total safety, and fiscal stewardship. I am grateful to the organizations and individuals who align with my vision and support me through endorsements.
