Today is Election Day! 🗳️ It’s our chance to show that a grassroots movement focused on outcomes, accountability, and strong support for every student can win. Let’s get out the vote and finish strong!

Over a year ago, I launched this campaign to bring real urgency, accountability, and innovation to our public schools. Today is Election Day, and it’s our chance to show that when students succeed, California succeeds. Help us make the final push and be sure to return your ballot by 8 PM!

1 day until Election Day 🕚 California families are being squeezed from every angle. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about how to balance work and afterschool care. As SPI, I’ll work to better align the school day with the workday to support working families.

2 days left! 🗓️ I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race so focused on literacy and numeracy that we’ve brought a Bookmobile across the state to spread the love of reading. California needs urgency to tackle our math and reading crisis. That’s exactly what I’ll deliver.

3️⃣ days left to vote—make your voice heard! California can’t claim to be a leader in innovation and technology if everyday people are left behind. As SPI, I’ll expand CTE and real career pathways for every student.

There’s 4️⃣ days until Primary Election Day—but you don’t have to wait! Return your ballot at a Vote Center, drop box, or by mail (postage is free). Let’s make our vision for college preparedness a reality for California students.

5 days to go until Election Day! ✋Don’t wait—return your ballot (and fill in the bubble for Josh Newman for State Superintendent) so we can boost civic engagement in our public schools.
