Our endorsed candidates bring strong ties to Denver and its public schools, backed by proven experience to lead with real impact on the DPS Board of Education. With deep roots in the community, they collectively offer decades of public school experience—as classroom teachers, school leaders, founders of high-performing schools, and dedicated advocates working for equitable, high-quality education for all students.
Notably, all four are Denver Public Schools parents, bringing invaluable family perspectives directly into district leadership. This ensures decision-making is informed by firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities DPS students face today.
Aligned closely with the priorities identified through our extensive community listening work—engaging over 100,000 Denver residents across every neighborhood—these candidates are poised to deliver on the community’s vision. Their proven records of translating priorities like school safety, student support, and academic excellence into tangible results make them uniquely equipped to build a safer, more supportive DPS where every student can thrive both academically and personally.
