Recent graduate supporting Walker
When Dr. Ruth Walker told me she wanted to run for school board, I was excited. We need more teachers on the board, and we need someone who will stand up for mental health services. Dr. Walker is both.
Dr. Walker focuses on what matters: students, teachers and schools. She wants to pay teachers more, protect mental health services and work for our students. She understands the burdens parents face in navigating exceptional education and has pledged to be an advocate for exceptional ed. Dr. Walker is going to make sure our kids are educated in a stable environment where their basic needs are met.
As a professor and developmental psychologist, she is going to make informed decisions based on data and proven solutions. Hamilton County needs a leader who makes smart decisions based on facts, not politics.
I have remarked that Dr. Walker is one of the best candidates on the ballot in all of Hamilton County, and I stand by that. If we send her to the school board, she’ll be one of the best elected officials in Hamilton County, if not Tennessee.
