Joe Tave is best for DISD District 6

Joe Tave is the best choice for the children, teachers and parents of DISD District 6.

If you live in the areas covered by Carter High School, Kimball High School and Molina High School, then you need to vote for Joe. He has the experience, the maturity and the PLAN to make sure no school is neglected.

Joe also has a real platform that can be identified by reading his website. No other candidate has done this. We need plans, not feel-good rhetoric. Joe’s candidacy is not an afterthought – he was the first to file for the election and truly cares about young people.

Joe has a plan not just for college applicants, but also for the rest of the children who need to be educated and to learn a vocation so they can be productive citizens.

Joe has been a teacher for years. He understands the challenges of the classroom and what needs to be done to create safe environments.

Joe has his own business, and has had one for some time. He will be a great steward of your tax dollars.

Joe has been active in the community long before this race. Joe is the founder of the Kimball Heights HOA - he knows how to bring people together of ALL races. His campaign supporters are a diverse group, which includes all races in the community and many different groups.

Joe recently helped to get a traffic light near Kimball High School at an intersection which was the site of many accidents and remained dangerous until Joe took a stand on the issue so kids could be safe.

Some candidates tout their involvement in reading programs as the reason they should be elected. Being involved in reading programs is impressive, but not enough to justify being a DISD trustee. Some feel that owning a newspaper means you should run for office, even though your paper has never been out front on ANY education issue. A couple are running because they want to control the contracts that flow through the District.

THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. And that’s why we need Joe Tave for District 6.

Joe is a smart, stern and likeable man who will serve the community with integrity and focus. He will give District 6 what has been missing for years: someone who is a good steward of funds, accountable to its citizens, and available to his constituents.

I encourage you all to go to Joe’s website which is www.joetavefordallas.com .
