A NEIGHBOR WHO SHOWS UP
Pete has spent his career helping people navigate systems that can feel stacked against them. His pro bono legal work has served veterans, immigrants, and survivors of domestic violence. He has also volunteered as a board member with Midtown-Metro. Now he wants to bring that same preparation, independence, and follow-through to the Chicago Board of Education.
WHAT PETE WILL FIGHT FOR
-
PUT OUR KIDS FIRST.
Every board decision should start with one question: what helps kids learn, feel safe, and build a future? Pete will push for the staff, programs, and school conditions students need in every neighborhood.
-
OPEN THE BOOKS.
Families and taxpayers deserve to see where the money goes before major decisions are made. Pete will demand clear budgets, public explanations, and real accountability for results.
-
PAY TEACHERS.
Teachers carry the daily work of our schools. Pete will support fair pay, manageable workloads, and the resources that help good educators stay in Chicago classrooms.
YOUR VOICE. YOUR SCHOOL BOARD.
