In 1981, I was elected to the Seattle School Board. I was a pioneer in the effort to end forced bussing and establish school choice. I helped to coordinate a community wide effort to create the first Strategic Planning process for the district. I successfully worked to create a lasting labor peace between the district and the employee unions. Worked with the neighborhoods to create Site Councils to decentralize authority in the district. I have been on the board for 20 years.

Civic Involvement
I worked as a legislative assistant to former Council Member Charlie Chong. During that time, I worked with all city departments, council members, the law department and the citizens to shape public policy. While working on farm worker legislation in 1992 I discovered that many activist didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the legislative process. It led to the publication of a textbook I now publish called "Access to Democracy" which helps people understand the legislative process.

Civic Involvement
As much as time and opportunity have allowed over the years, I’ve donated time, skill, and labor to causes ranging from abused women and children to the Nader2000 presidential campaign. In my youth, I contributed my artistry to performance benefits to efforts such as that Broadway Director Liz Swados organized to clean up New York’s Hudson River in the early 80’s. I’ve written award-winning essays on racial unity and law.
The League urges voters to use other sources of election information in addition to the candidate evaluation report before going to the polls.
