MEET ANDREW
Lakeside is my home. I grew up here, and it is where I attended school. I'm grateful for the well-rounded, rigorous education that I received as a Lakeside student.
I attended Tierra del Sol middle school and graduated from El Capitan High School. After high school, I attended the University of San Diego, where I earned two bachelor's degrees, one in Business Administration and the other in Political Science.
In 2014
I joined the legislative office of then California State Senator Joel Anderson, where I had the opportunity to work on education policy and other east and north county community policy issues.
In December of 2018
I joined the legislative office of California State Senator Brian Jones, where I currently serve as his District Director and work with the public as a liaison between the Senator and over 900,000 constituents in eastern and northern San Diego.
My community has always come first
And I'm a proud member of the Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club, Lakeside Kiwanis, Lakeside Historical Society, and Lakeside Friends of the Library.
WHY AM I RUNNING?
California’s education system is broken.
For too long Sacramento bureaucrats have worked overtime to remove local control from school districts and erode parents and community members say in their local school districts.
Yet, even while student achievement data reveals Sacramento’s complete and utter failure, Sacramento politicians refuse to course correct and support districts like Lakeside’s efforts to support parents and invest in the basics of reading, writing, and math.
Instead, Sacramento is doubling down on failed public policy
with proposals to eliminate traditional grading, eliminate advanced classes starting with mathematics, and emphasize teaching about controversial social issues in the classroom.
As a lifelong resident and product of Lakeside Schools I’m running for re-election to continue to put the students and families of Lakeside first.
I’m grateful for the well-rounded and rigorous education that I received as a Lakeside student, and I want to ensure all our students get the same world class education I did.
I’m running to continue my work to push back on Sacramento’s failed policies and ensure our school district remains the hidden gem of East County School Districts.
I’LL SUPPORT
PARENTS
Because they deserve to have the final say in their child’s education.
TEACHERS
By ensuring they have the resources they need to teach our kids the basics.
TRADITIONAL GRADING
While providing all our students the same world class education.
ADVANCED MATHEMATICS OPPORTUNITIES
For our kids.
KIDS BEING KIDS
By opposing focusing on controversial social issues in the classroom.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS
Through the implementation of career education programs by partnering with the Lakeside Chamber of Commerce and other community stakeholders like the Associated General Contractors. I look forward to continuing to serve Lakeside.
