WHY I AM RUNNING? Many people ask why I have decided to seek a seat on the Board of Trustees for the High School District so young. I have always answered because I beleieve the community needs to be heard before making decisions, and I want to have the chance to give back to the community. As a member of the Foster City Education Committee I have dealt with many issues that need to be solved. My hope is to solve most of the problems and set this district on track of being the best school district in the nation.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME? You should vote for me because I will bring a youth perspective to the issues, and because I believe that the community should be heard. If you want a change in the way the community is heard, or think that the board should stop rubberstamping the superintendent then I am the man for the job, and you should vote for me.

VOTE JOSEPH GRANATA FOR THE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
