1/ I’m running for the SBOE using the Fair Elections Program because I am sick and tired of people who believe “the market” should determine whether a child is successful or a failure being in positions to decide how public education should look.
3/ As a graduate of DC’s public schools and an educator in DC and other urban school districts, I know how harmful these people and their policies have been.

People like the Waltons, Katherine Bradley, Scott Pearson, Ramona Edelin, and my opponent, @DC_Edvocate.
5/They’ve championed legislation written by former Speakers of the House Newt Gingrich and John Boehner and former Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu.

Without the support of DC’s elected member of Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton.

They don’t care who they run over to get their way.
7/ And they don’t care who they take money from to see their system of chance.

Just take a look at @DC_Edvocate’s donors. They’ve already maxed out to his campaign. http://efiling.ocf.dc.gov/ContributionExpenditure/SearchResults https://twitter.com/rondtjr/status/1294312619755687937
8/ I’m running for SBOE At-Large Representative using Fair Elections, which only matches every $ from *DC* residents, because I’m committed to serving DC families and teachers.

I’m trying to protect DC students not my take home pay.
9/11 I’m the only candidate in this race using Fair Elections, which means I’m the only person who must by law answer to DC voters.

@DC_Edvocate just has to answer to his out-of-state donors.
10/ What is spent on Fair Elections pales in comparison to what my opponent’s work and policies, like opposing fair school transparency legislation, has cost DC children and families over 2 decades.
