The details

EISD trustees are elected at-large, meaning all registered voters living within EISD boundaries can vote for each place on the ballot, as trustees represent the entire district instead of a portion of the district.
Voter deadline registration is April 3. Early voting will be held April 22-29, and election day is May 3.

What motivated you to run for this position?
As a dad, business owner, and Eanes volunteer, I believe a quality education empowers every child to reach their full potential. Eanes is a phenomenal district; however, that success isn’t guaranteed. I’m running to build on this legacy and ensure continued excellence for all students, now and in the future.
If elected, what will be your top priorities to address district challenges?
1) Tackle both our short-term and long-term financial challenges; 2) Ensure that while doing so, we continue to serve each and every child well, retain our talented teachers and staff, and innovate in order to prepare our students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
If elected, what new district projects or policies would you like to see implemented?
Eanes must maximize revenue, decrease costs, identify innovative funding solutions, and improve our financial forecasting. Additionally, as the cost of living rises and people leave teaching altogether, we must identify ways to both cut district-wide costs and ensure Eanes remains a destination district where the best teachers want to teach.
