I personally know Dave Wells and I’m positive that he is our best choice to work on the Tempe Union High School District Governing Board. As a father of three high school children and an award-winning teacher at Arizona State University, Wells understands what it takes to provide the best in teaching. He will use his family and professional experiences to foster improvement in the educational achievements of the district. Wells will also work to advance student nutrition. He values community access and involvement with the school district. I encourage you to join me in voting for Dave Wells. A vote to elect Wells is a vote to ensure that the local school board is the best that it can be for the students and for the future of the community.
