THIS CAMPAIGN:

What is the primary reason you are running for this office?

Primary reasons for my running for this office are to support students that are drop outs and teachers lobbying for their compensation to meet their standard of living. 

What will be your top three priorities if you get elected and why?

1. Resolve the issues of students dropouts and teachers lobbying for their compensations to meet their standard of living.

2. Religious issues applicable specially to non-christian students exercising their rights for religious freedom.  I think the school boards should have a balance policy for evaluating these controversies and issues.  That students be able to perform their daily ritual religious practices.  That they should be provided a venue or prayer room in the school.

3. Harrassment and intimidation in the school, the students against other students or teachers should be prevented.  Establish a  goal and policy to allow victims to report incidents without fear any effect of retaliation and false allegations.    

What sets you apart from the other candidates and/or previous office holders? I have never been to this position before so I can not compare myself now against other candidates for what I will do and what they will perform.

How much money do you expect your campaign to spend on this election? I have no set amount of money to spend on this election.
