About Joe
I have been on the board over 14 years. In those years all I ever wanted to do was to make sure your kids had and have all the tools they will need to succeed in life. Re-Elect me and I will focus on:
- Restoring FULL parental access to you
- More access to CTE pathways
- Making sure children have access to educational tools and mental health resources they need
DONT BE FOOLED!
THIS ISN’T A RUMOR. IT’S PUBLIC INFORMATION!
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA–Los Angeles) lists my opponent, Stacy Fortner, as its recommended candidate for the Wm. S. Hart Union High School District Board of Trustees.
DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. READ THEIR OWN VOTER GUIDE!
The DSA's recommendation is published for everyone to see.
VOTERS DESERVE TO KNOW WHO IS SUPPORTING THE CANDIDATES ASKING FOR THEIR VOTES!
I believe there are significant differences between my conservative principles and the political philosophy of the Democratic Socialists of America.
I encourage voters to examine those differences, ask tough questions, and determine which candidate best represents their priorities.
MY RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!
I have never hidden my beliefs, my conservative principles, or my love for this great country!
I have consistently and openly fought for:
- PARENTAL RIGHTS - Parents deserve a meaningful voice in their children's education.
- AGE-APPROPRIATE EDUCATION - Books and curriculum should be appropriate for students' ages.
- ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE - Schools must focus on preparing students for success.
- CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION - Students deserve opportunities to learn valuable skills and prepare for good-paying careers.
- FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY - Taxpayer dollars must be spent responsibly.
- SAFE SCHOOLS - Every student and teacher deserves a secure learning environment.
THESE AREN'T JUST CAMPAIGN PROMISES. THEY ARE PRINCIPLES I HAVE FOUGHT FOR!
I'm proud to have earned endorsements from The Signal, KHTS, Cameron Smyth, Jason Gibbs, Scott Wilk and many other respected community leaders.
The overwhelming majority of my campaign contributions have come from Santa Clarita Valley residents and local businesses. My opponents come from out of the area far left officials.
I encourage voters to examine both campaigns' financial disclosures, endorsements, and public records.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHERE I STAND. MY RECORD IS THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!
WE HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL HERE IN SANTA CLARITA!
Families choose to live here because of our outstanding schools, safe neighborhoods, and exceptional quality of life.
I believe we have a responsibility to protect those qualities for our children and grandchildren.
OUR CHILDREN DESERVE GREAT SCHOOLS!
OUR PARENTS DESERVE TO BE HEARD!
OUR TAXPAYERS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY!
AND OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES LEADERS WHO ARE OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE!
I am a proud conservative Republican, and I make no apologies for my love of America, my respect for our Constitution, or my commitment to the families of Santa Clarita.
I HAVE NEVER HIDDEN WHO I AM OR WHAT I STAND FOR!
I encourage everyone to research the candidates, examine their records, and make an informed choice.

PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
EVERY VOTE MATTERS!
PLEASE RETURN YOUR BALLOT BY NOVEMBER 3!
As a proud conservative Republican and longtime advocate for our schools, I would be honored to earn your vote.
