I’m honored to have his support. Michael’s work reminds us that public education is more than policy, especially when laws are passed without the funding to make them real. We can and must do better for our children.

Michael Benjamin’s journey through Sacramento schools to School Board is what public education was meant to create: leaders who give back. A lifelong educator, he’s turned classrooms, barbershops, and neighborhoods into places of hope, building spaces where education meets equity and opportunity.

I am running for State Superintendent because I believe every child deserves a school that truly invests in them, every educator deserves respect and support, and every community deserves a future where public education thrives.

The message was clear: we need a teacher with lived classroom experience to lead and reimagine our California schools.

I’m the only Democratic public school teacher running for State Superintendent, with 30 years of experience teaching in the classroom and governing the largest community college district in the U.S., spanning nine colleges. If elected, I’ll be the first Black woman to hold this seat.

Thank you for your service — it’s important to have women in leadership roles! I’m encouraged that we’re seeing all-time highs for women superintendents, but we still have a way to go to reach full gender parity. Our students deserve better.

Despite more women superintendents than ever, representation still lags

It may take three more decades for men and women to reach parity, according to ILO Group.

Dr. Rose Lopez has worn nearly every hat in West Covina schools: student, parent, teacher, and now on the West Covina Unified School Board. She has spent decades ensuring students have the resources to thrive.

I’m grateful for her endorsement as we build the coalition to lead California schools.
