Teachers first. Students at the center. Families at the table.
Katy ISD Board of Trustees, Position 6 · Election Day: May 1, 2027
Why I’m running
My commitment to Katy ISD became personal while tutoring a friend’s sixth-grade son who was struggling in math and reading. I saw dedicated teachers working hard while stretched systems, large class sizes, and overloaded intervention resources made it difficult to close every gap.
I am a nonprofit executive, business leader, education advocate, community volunteer, and Katy ISD KEYS mentor. I bring experience in board governance, budgeting, strategic planning, youth services, and building partnerships across communities.
The board’s job is governance, accountability, and stewardship, not micromanagement.
Three clear priorities
Is it good for students? Does it support teachers and staff? Is it a responsible use of taxpayer dollars?
Teachers first
Recruit and retain excellent educators through competitive compensation, professional respect, discipline support, manageable systems, and a real voice in district decisions.
Students at the center
Set high expectations while making sure strong district averages do not hide gaps in literacy, mathematics, special education, or campus outcomes.
Families at the table
Give families clear information, meaningful choices, and a direct voice without allowing one family or political group to decide for everyone else.
The work ahead
The question is not whether a policy makes a good headline. The question is whether it produces better results for students.
Expect measurable gains in early literacy, mathematics, and every student group.
Review operations carefully and keep as much funding as possible close to the classroom.
Enforce existing rules consistently, fairly, and with due process for every student.
Strengthen skilled trades, credentials, entrepreneurship, and employer partnerships.
Support parental access, age-appropriate materials, and opt-out choices for each family.
Watch staffing, evaluation timelines, service delivery, and measurable student progress.
Ask hard questions in public, decide from evidence, then provide stability after the vote.
Create regular conversations with teachers, staff, families, students, and taxpayers.
Measure success through student progress, teacher retention, responsible spending, and clear reporting.
Straight answers
A trustee sets vision and policy, adopts the budget, hires and evaluates the superintendent, and holds the system accountable. The board should not micromanage campuses or operate as district administration.
It means protecting teacher compensation and classroom resources, improving discipline support and daily working conditions, and creating regular ways for educators to speak directly with district leadership.
David supports an independent, granular operational efficiency review on a recurring cycle. Responsible savings should be redirected toward classrooms, teacher retention, and student services.
Parents should be able to see what their child is reading and opt their own child out. Materials must also comply with Texas law, district policy, and age-appropriate placement.

Fuel the campaign
Reaching voters across a district as large as Katy ISD takes real resources: yard signs, mailers, block walking materials, events, and digital outreach all cost money. Local school board races receive little media coverage, so every family we reach depends on a campaign that can afford to reach them.
Donations also send a clear message. When neighbors give, even a small amount, it shows the community that this campaign has broad, genuine support from people who care about our schools.
Join the team
School board races are won by neighbors talking to neighbors. Tell us how you'd like to help and the campaign will follow up with you directly.
