As a GPPSS parent, I’m proud of our school district and want to serve on the school board to improve it. My background in public health and education makes me a great candidate. I’m passionate about creating a safe learning environment for ALL kids! 

Partisan politics has no place on the school board, so I’m not seeking endorsement by any political party. That means I need as many individual donations as I can get. I’ll use this money to purchase lawn signs and print literature to send out to voters. 

Our teachers at GPPSS are a phenomenal part of what makes the district such a great place for students, and I'm proud to be endorsed by the GPEA (our local educators' union). Parent volunteers create awesome learning opportunities through field trips and extracurricular activities. We need a Board of Education that listens to the community and responds to their concerns, while keeping the focus on what’s best for our students. I hope you’ll consider contributing to my campaign!

    “Valerie has a young child in the school system and has experienced both good & disappointing aspects of GPPS. Her career in public health equips her to dig into & draw insights from data. We need her empathy and analytic skills on our Board of Education. She has my vote!”

    “I support a School Board candidate who believes in inclusion and in teaching all of history not just the parts that are self-serving. In addition, Grosse Pointe does not need a Charter School.”

1/3 the way there!

Thanks to so many generous neighbors, I’m already one-third of the way to my fundraising goal! We have ordered another run of signs, because we ran out of the initial 125 so quickly. My first fundraiser was a great success, considering how quickly we put it together, and I’m excited for future fundraising events. I’m working to get a reasonably priced voter list and designing flyers for canvassing, which we’ll begin after the August primaries. As always, message or email me if there’s anything you’d like to know - I’m all about transparency!
