“The voters of Farmington Area School District 192 have an incredible opportunity between now and November 8th to elect three new school board representatives. I encourage you to watch the video of the September 28th ISD 192 candidate forum to learn more about why I believe I can help our school district manage the significant challenges it will face over the next 4 years.”

Priorities

Learning and Safety

It is no secret the last two years of disruptions have had a significant impact on student learning and development. As our schools move forward from the pandemic, it is essential that our district remains focused on ensuring educational programs are having the desired outcomes, students are building meaningful and trustworthy relationships, and our school buildings are providing safe and healthy learning environments.

Fiscal Responsibility

State and federal special education funding shortfalls and increased operating expenses have put significant pressure on our school district’s ability to meet the needs of our students. It is critical that our district leaders work with legislators on long term funding solutions while also continuing to exercise strong fiscal discipline.

Accountability

Parents and community members need to feel confident their input and engagement with members of the school board, administration, and educators actually matter.

I want to thank everyone that supported this effort. While I was obviously hoping for a different outcome, I am very proud of my campaign and I am humbled that over 4,500 voters were willing to put their faith in me. This is an amazing community and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

I also want to thank my wife and two boys who have stood by my side over these past 5 months. There is no way I could have done this without their unwavering support and patience throughout this incredible journey.

I want to finish by congratulating the new school board members Melissa Gorman, Farmington School Board Member, Becky DeWilde, Farmington School Board, and Maggie Storlie for Farmington School Board. I know you will be facing some very challenging situations over the next four years, and I will be hoping and praying for your success.

Thank you David and you should be very proud of yourself. You put yourself out there and ran a good race!

Thank you David. After some rest and time with your family, I hope you will continue to be an active voice in our school district working toward the best outcome for our students and community. You have many personal strengths to offer; your campaign characterized by knowledge, listening, perseverance and integrity proves it.

Thank you David for all your hard work during this campaign as well as over the past 2 years. You have proven yourself as a fierce advocate for kids and parents.

Proud of you either way !! Good job for caring enough to run !!

You ran a stellar campaign my friend! I am honored to know you and have had some really amazing conversations prior to and throughout this race. You have never waivered on any of the issues which is a testament to your character. You are one hell of an honorable man and one your kids will always be proud of! Thank you so much for fighting for our district, the kids, the parents, and the staff!

Hey David, as others have noted, you have much to be proud of in this campaign. I remember when we met about a year ago, you were at least as concerned about role modeling integrity for your kids as you were the issue you were advocating for. You said, "How can I raise them to speak up for others, if I don't show them now that I will do the same when it is so important to their health and wellbeing." Your kids have a giant for a father. I'm grateful for your candor when we discuss the issues, and thankful that you put your name out there in this election. And I know that you will continue to be the advocate and critic we need to make our schools better for all of our kids.

Hold your head high!

It’s hard to believe I have handed out the last flier. I want to thank everyone who took a few minutes out of their day to chat with me as I walked through their neighborhoods and knocked on doors these past few months. I am grateful for each of those conversations and the perspectives that people shared with me about how they believe our schools can remain focused on what is most important. I also want to thank everyone who has supported my campaign throughout this incredible journey. I could not have done this without you in my corner and I am humbled by the trust that you placed in me. I would be honored to receive your vote on Tuesday and to have an opportunity to represent Farmington ISD 192 as a school board member. Thank you!
