“I support Senator Bernie Sanders for President because of his commitment to reinvest in public education,” CCSD Board of Trustees President Lola Brooks said.

“In addition, his focus on providing a broader social safety net through programs such as Medicare for All would allow schools to focus on dedicating their limited resources to educating students versus providing for their basic needs.

In May 2019, Sanders unveiled his Thurgood Marshall Plan for Public Education, which promises to reinvest in our nation's schools and modernize our education system.

His campaign also recently announced that Sanders will have national surrogates Jason Mraz and The Mowgli’s at First Friday on Jan. 3.

Clark County School District Board of Trustees President Lola Brooks has endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Democratic presidential bid.

In a statement sent by Sanders’ campaign on Thursday, Brooks said her decision was based on “his commitment to reinvest in public education.”

“In addition, his focus on providing a broader social safety net through programs such as Medicare for All would allow schools to focus on dedicating their limited resources to educating students versus providing for their basic needs,” said Brooks, whose board presides over the nation’s fifth-largest school district.

Brooks was first elected to the board in 2016. She represents District E, which encompasses Summerlin and parts of northwest Las Vegas.
