Can you imagine condemning Duval County Public Schools for observing and celebrating the Month of the Military Child, and mocking our military children and JROTC students present during last week’s School Board meeting?

We just witnessed it from an opponent. Repulsive behavior.

Did you know that Sesame Street for Military Families offers education resources & activities for preschool aged children to help them cope with the challenges of military life?

In honor of #TaylorSwift releasing 31 new songs today, we are looking for 31 people to make a donation to my School Board campaign… any amount from $5 to $500, every dollar counts.

Help me defeat our Moms for Liberty opponent in August and chip in at travisakers.com!

It is completely unacceptable to allow a teacher to maintain direct contact with children after being accused of sexual misconduct, and for the district to have known for six weeks before removing him from the classroom is a massive failure.

If you play the new #TaylorSwift album backwards, the first lyrics are “Vote Travis Akers for School Board on August 20th.”

Arts and music programs in Duval County have been tragically underfunded and gutted since the 2000s.

Arts education is more important than ever in the age of smartphones and social media.

We have a mental health crisis in our communities, and the current governor’s administration is making a mockery of it.

Rather than actually funding mental health programs with actual certified professionals, Ron DeSantis is hiring grandmas to give the kids a pat on the back.

What a great kickoff for Hank Rogers!

I am honored to be running for School Board alongside Hank. Although he’s in District 5 and I am in 7, we share a common vision and are both running against Moms For Liberty candidates.

Hank Rogers has my complete endorsement and support!

I’m not opposed to charter schools. I’m not opposed to private schools.

I’m opposed to intentionally harming traditional public schools at the expense of our community, and not providing the resources they need to succeed.

Congratulations to Principal Michael George of our very own Atlantic Coast High School for being named the Florida Principal of the Year!

Students in arts and music programs statistically perform better on standardized testing and above their peer group.

One of my priorities as your School Board member will be expanding access, partnerships, and funding for music and arts programs in our public schools.

My oldest son is a senior at Fletcher High, a local public school that has gone above and beyond in supporting our military children. I am grateful for all of our Purple Star DCPS and the ongoing commitment to honor, celebrate, and serve those who are serving!

Invest in public education.

What’s your voting plan?

Anna and I extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Graham family and loved ones.

If you asked me who defined my political views in context of my faith, I would list Dr. Andy Stanley, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, President Jimmy Carter, and Sen. Bob Graham.

Join us in wearing purple on Wednesday, April 17, in honor and celebration of Month of the Military Child. 💜
