Vote Nelson Esparza for county school board

As a teacher for Madera Unified School District, I was so pleased and proud to see that Nelson Esparza is running for the District 3, Fresno County School Board.

Nelson was a former 6th grade student of mine at James Monroe School, where I taught for 33 years. I remember him well as a quiet, self-determined young man who worked very hard.

I believe he has all of the necessary qualifications to be on our school board. Nelson has the drive, determination and empathy to see that all students in District 3 will be his priority.

I have lived here in Fresno for many years, so it will be a treat for me personally to vote for Esparza!

Please consider your vote for Nelson Esparza on Nov. 8 for the District 3 Fresno County School Board.
