As a father of two, I believe strongly in our public schools. My commitment to equity and opportunity comes from the heart. I'm the first member of my family to graduate from college. My parents, teachers and schools gave me the chance to build a better life for myself and my family. We've made lots of progress in the past four years, but there is more to do to ensure all our children have that chance.
I ask for your continued support.
--David Wynde
“David cares about our children, especially children of color and children whose families are struggling. He knows these are the kids who have the most to gain from a district, a school board, and a community focused on ensuring that every child has an equal chance to learn.”
Martin Gonzalez , community leader.
“David's leadership was important in our work to improve the relationship between the teachers' union and the district. We've reached agreement on two contracts in the past four years. Both times negotiations were respectful and professional. Much of the credit for this critical change in tone goes to David. He's firm but fair.”
Retired Portland teacher Steven Palumbo .
“David's provided leadership to navigate PPS to a position of relative financial stability. He's made the tough decisions to control costs and balance the budget, while still investing in the quality of our children's education.”
Samuel Brooks , business and community leader.
