Northshore School Board: Tran an advocate for students

As a city councilmember in Mukilteo, I recognize the value of strong, dedicated leadership, especially in our schools. It is with this understanding that I wholeheartedly endorse Han Tran for the Northshore School District Board in the upcoming general election.

Tran is not just another candidate; she is a relentless advocate for our students and their futures. Her commitment to educational excellence and student well-being is palpable in every policy proposal and public forum where she participates. I know this because I’ve served alongside and seen her present in the community.

At a time when educational stakes have never been higher and the call for quality and equity is paramount, Tran brings a much-needed sense of urgency coupled with a steadfast yet thoughtful approach. Committed to closing achievement gaps, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring efficient resource allocation, her governance style is both inclusive and comprehensive, reflecting a deep-seated belief that every student, regardless of background, deserves a top-tier education.

She doesn’t merely represent talking points and campaign promises; she actively engages with parents, teachers, and students to understand the complexities of their experiences.

I urge the voters of the Northshore School District to consider what the future holds for your schools and children. A vote for Tran this November is a vote for student wellbeing and academic success.

Tran has my full and unreserved endorsement, and I sincerely hope she will have yours as well.
