“The outpouring of support for experienced leadership, solid education experience and an independent voice fighting for our children is humbling in this non-partisan race,” said Alston, who is a product of Broward County Public Schools, a former Broward County Commissioner, former School Board Chairman and former Chief of Staff to Barbara Sharief. “I was born in south Broward, I understand Broward issues and I will continue fighting for academic excellence, safer schools and protecting our tax dollars while managing a $6 billion operation. I am humbly asking the voters of Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Southwest Ranches and portions of Cooper City and Davie to send me back to continue unfinished business on the Broward School Board.”
