Why I am running for Superintendent of
Public Instruction
Quite simply, to stop the Common Core Standards in Arizona and return control over your
children’s education to you through your locally elected school boards. As a board member of the
Peoria Unified School District it became painfully apparent that Common Core was not right.
We now clearly understand that a major piece of President Obama’s plan to “fundamentally
change” America is by controlling the education of our children through the federally mandated
Common Core Standards (renamed “Arizona’s” College and Career Ready Standards).
Common Core is to education what ObamaCare is to healthcare – top down, one size fits all
COMMON CORE MUST BE STOPPED!
I began studying the American education system and the federal government’s ever increasing
intrusion into our local control since the early 1990s. I’ve studied the history of our education

sovereignty; and to educate our children to perpetuate the liberty with which we have been

The single most important “job” I have held in my adult life was that of being a full-time mother;

My formal education consists of an Associate Degree in Business—Somerset County College
(Raritan Valley College) and a BS in Business/Marketing from Rutgers University.
