Phil Kauffman - Candidate for Montgomery County Board of Education
Phil with his familyI am running for the Board of Education At-Large because I believe we can do better at meeting the needs of every child. Montgomery County Public Schools must meet the needs of every student and prepare them to meet the challenges of the future. I believe in high expectations and rigorous standards at all schools to ensure our children maximize their potential. Critical to the academic success of each student is: recruitment and retention of exceptional principals, teachers, and support professionals; meaningful parental support and involvement; and a safe and secure school environment.

As a 20-year resident of Olney and Silver Spring, I know Montgomery County. As a parent of two recent MCPS graduates, the husband of an MCPS high school teacher, and a long-time PTA activist, I know our school system. It is one of the best in the country. But in order to maintain the quality of the system while addressing the increasingly diverse needs of its students during challenging fiscal times requires leadership, commitment, and experience. I believe that I possess those qualities and I ask for your support.

Phil Wins Primary

Dear Friends,

The results are in and I'm thrilled to report that we finished in FIRST PLACE!! I am deeply grateful to the voters of Montgomery County for believing in my candidacy for the Board of Education. The hard work and dedication of our hearty poll workers cannot be underestimated. Also, my thanks go out to my campaign steering committee and the many elected officials and community leaders who are supporting my effort.

Now the work begins on Phase II of the campaign: the general election this November. Our campaign team is already gearing up for the work that lies ahead to be successful on November 4th. I need your help to continue the positive momentum that we've built with the primary win. Running a county-wide campaign is very expensive and I need your financial support to continue to get the word out about my candidacy. You can make a difference by signing up to volunteer or contributing to my campaign by clicking on the paypal button (it's safe and easy to use!).

I am truly energized by the support that you've given me and I look forward to working with you over the coming months.

Phil Kauffman
