My wife Betsy and I are raising
our daughter Elise in North Buffalo, in the same neighborhood
where I grew up. Too many of our friends have moved out of
Buffalo because they were worried about the schools, but we
don't want to leave. Buffalo is our home and I want to fight
for better schools for my daughter . . . and your children,
too.
In 2006, I founded Buffalo MicroParks
and created the Barkyard Dog Park in LaSalle Park. In spite
of the best efforts, the idea of a dog park had languished,
blocked by bureaucracy and inertia. By offering some new ideas
and creative compromises, I was able to lead a coalition that
in August 2007 opened Buffalo's first off-leash area for dogs.
That's the ability, passion, and leadership I will bring to
the School Board.
As I've said, I'm Jay McCarthy,
and I'm running for school board because I believe in Buffalo's
future, and that future is in our schools. I don't pretend
to have all the answers but I do believe that by working together
we can explore new ideas and find innovative solutions to
some of the problems facing our schools. I'm the only candidate
who has a real record of accomplishing change. Please join
me in my campaign. Thank you.
