ABOUT ME

No more words,

we need action.

My name is Jamila James. I am a mother, a nurse, and an advocate for those without a voice. It is because of these roles, and my need to be of service, that I am running for the Ann Arbor School Board. I am a firm believer that the way we educate our children directly affects our community, and therefore our reality. AAPS is doing a good job - my campaign team is composed of more than a few alumni - but I think we can do better.

In the age of COVID-19, now is the time to re-imagine our schools. I want to create a system where every child has a chance to succeed, not just those college bound. In this election, we have the ability to show that we value people, families, and our community over money. This race is about our babies, our future. And so I am asking for your hope in making a better future for all of us - by voting for me this November 3rd.
