MEET VERNON
A proud product of the Cypress School District.
I graduated from Landell Elementary after attending from kindergarten through sixth grade, and I am proud to be a product of the Cypress School District. I walked these campuses, made lifelong friends, and learned from teachers who helped shape who I am today.
My family has called Cypress home for more than 30 years. Today, I work locally as a real estate professional and remain deeply connected to the community that raised me.
That connection is why this campaign is built around three commitments: Educate our students to the highest standard, Empower parents to be true partners in their children's education, and Energize our community with renewed trust and respect for the board.
THE THREE E'S
The foundation of my campaign.
Every decision I make as a candidate—and, if elected, as a trustee—should come back to these three principles.
Empower
Treat parents as meaningful partners in their children's education and make sure families have clear information, a voice, and a seat at the table.
Energize
Rebuild confidence in the district through transparency, respectful leadership, responsible decisions, and stronger connections with our community.
PRIORITIES
Keep the focus where it belongs.
The Three E's guide the campaign. These priorities are how I would put them into practice on the board.
Protect the Classroom
Address the district's budget challenges responsibly while prioritizing classroom instruction, student outcomes, and the resources students rely on.
Rebuild Trust
Make decisions openly, explain them clearly, and communicate consistently with families, teachers, staff, and the community.
Support Stability
Value strong school leadership and thoughtful decision-making because consistency helps students and staff succeed.
Strengthen Academics
Keep the board focused on reading, math, critical thinking, and preparing every student for what comes next.
WHY I'M RUNNING
Listen. Learn. Lead responsibly.
Our district faces real challenges that require a fresh perspective. We need to address a $3.5 million budget deficit without losing sight of the teachers and classroom programs that matter most to students.
Recent turmoil has also made rebuilding trust a priority. That means decisions made in the open, clear communication, and a board that treats families, educators, staff, and the community with respect.
“I'm not running to bring politics into the classroom. I'm running to keep the focus on academics, responsible leadership, and preparing every student for what comes next.”
