    “I am a community organizer & community leader. I am an educator, teaching college writing and ESL. I am the proud product of public education, from pre-K to grad school. I am a proud Tucsonan who loves our schools & students. But I know we can do better as we face the challenges in 2018 and beyond. “

    1. About 30 people at Petroglyphs to help Adam kick off his TUSD Bd. campaign, including current TUSD Bd. member Adelita Grijalva (and her mother Ramona), former TUSD Bd. member Cam Juarez, Matt Kopec (Ward 3 aide/former House Rep.), and Andres Cano, LD 3 House candidate. Adam said he was a product of public education, wants to run a positive campaign and that “the Board needs an educator on it”. He wants the board to communicate better, do a good job on the budget (for more spending in the classroom) and get more $ from the Arizona legislature.
