Our Priorities
Supporting Education and Beyond
Strengthen Educational Programs in our Schools
Better Learning,
Brighter Futures
Harlingen students deserve the best education possible. I will work to strengthen academic programs, expand career and technical education, and ensure every student has access to the tools they need to succeed—whether they choose college, a trade, or the workforce.
Increase Transparency
Open Communication, Stronger Schools
Parents and citizens in Harlingen should have clear access to school policies, budgets, and decision-making. I will advocate for increased transparency, ensuring families and taxpayers stay informed and involved in shaping the future of our schools.
Increase Efficient and Effective use of Resources
Smart Spending, Better Schools, Thriving Teachers
Every dollar should directly benefit students and classrooms. I will advocate for responsible budgeting, reduced waste, and strategic resource allocation to maximize educational impact while keeping schools financially strong.
Ensure School Safety
Safe Schools, Confident Students, Confident Parents
Families in Harlingen should feel confident that their children are safe at school. I will advocate for improved campus security and anti-bullying initiatives to create a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
Support Teachers Through Increased Resources and Compensation
Respect and Resources for Harlingen Teachers
Our teachers are the backbone of our schools, and they deserve support. I will fight for better pay, more classroom resources, and professional development opportunities to ensure we attract and retain the best educators for Harlingen students.
Support Mental Health for Teachers and Students
Healthy Minds, Thriving Schools
Students and teachers in Harlingen face real mental health challenges. I will work to expand access to counselors, mental health programs, and wellness initiatives, ensuring our schools provide the support needed for success both in and out of the classroom.
