I am proud to support a woman who is not afraid of anyone. Not afraid to challenge the status quo to support the teacher, communicate with the principal, challenge the school board, hold accountable the parent and change the reality of the children. Keshia Thomas is my choice because she understands vision and without a good vision this district will perish. She is not afraid to make our children’s reality successful!
