My friend,
It’s almost here. As I write this, people I trust—people who know both my heart and my work—have been encouraging me to take the plunge back into electoral politics. I don’t take that lightly. I never have. Because this has never been about ambition for its own sake. It’s about responsibility.
I believe—deeply—in the transformative power of schools. Schools are not just buildings. They are anchors in their neighborhoods. They are stabilizers. They are launchpads. When schools are strong, they don’t just educate students; they shape futures, whether that future leads to college, to the trades, or directly into the workforce with dignity and purpose.
My five years of service on Local School Councils—at Disney Magnet Elementary and Nicholas Senn High School—taught me what CPS truly needs most: wraparound services that meet students where they are. And my own life confirms that truth. I was a student with a disability. I made it because the right supports were there. I carry that with me every day. I aim for—constantly for— a CPS where every student has access to the same quality resources, care, and belief that I was fortunate enough to receive and that got me through to college and that these advantages should be provided to CPS students no matter what their zip code.
And now, this is our moment.
CPS needs us. It needs advocates who don’t just talk, but who have shown up and delivered. I’ve helped secure funding for programs that create pathways for neighborhood residents to become teachers. I’ve helped push progressive policies—like hiring additional social workers—because student success doesn’t begin and end in the classroom.
So I’m asking you: stand with me.
Please help. We can do this—together. Give what you can. Some come to volunteer to contact voters for an hour and others help by contributing $250.

Amazing! The amount of support people just like you are showing this campaign is blowing me away.
We all know that every student deserves the resources they need to succeed growing up, and I am so touched to know that you believe in my effort to fight for that cause.
So thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
I can not do this without you.
And you can see what we can do.
Looking forward,
Daniel
