These are important qualities in a leader.”

She has spent her entire career fighting for racial and educational equality for all students. In reaction to Evan Goyke’s endorsement, Aisha stated, “I am honored to receive Representative Goyke’s support. When it comes to our children and their education, experience is essential.
