Honored and Humbled!

Friends, neighbors, and community members,

Thanks to your support, our campaign was successful! You can see the full election results here. I am honored and humbled by the trust you have placed in me to serve as your next school board member from the 3rd District.

I'd like to thank both Charlene Riley and Kevin Starlings for running robust campaigns and for their ongoing commitment to our students. Since we first launched this campaign, we have remained focused on the need to improve student outcomes, keep our schools safe, advocate for more resources, and retain quality staff.

And now, that work begins!

As we embark on an uncertain future as a nation, I want you to know that our community's path forward is built on organizing, advocating, and staying involved. I remain committed to bringing the 3rd District and my fellow school board colleagues together around proven solutions that uplift our kids, empower our educators, and engage families.

Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to serving RPS families as your representative on the Richmond City School Board.

In solidarity,

Ali Faruk
