“I am proud to endorse David Miranda for a seat on the Jersey City Board of Education- one year term. During my campaign, my slogan was “Proven Leadership Fighting for Jersey City Students.” I strongly believe it is so important to have a background and record to run on and David Miranda is uniquely qualified as was I to be elected to the Jersey City Board of Education. Accountability, Credibility, and Transparency are three areas David will strive to bring while on the Board. I am confident he will put our children, parents, and teachers first as he is the only candidate running for a one-year term with the background and experience. On Tuesday, November 8^th, vote 6J to elect David Miranda because he will get the job done.”     – Demetrius Terry
