An East County dad and small businessman, fighting for our kids.

Endorsed by teachers, parents and working people. Not the special interests.

“I want East County’s kids to have more opportunities than we had growing up. Parents and teachers should have the power, not out-of-county special interests.” — Justin

As a father and business owner with two amazing kids in our public schools, I’m 100 percent invested in the success of our community’s schools and truly grounded in the issues families face in today’s changing economy. That’s why I have earned the endorsement of our county’s school teachers and a majority of the Board of Education—because East County deserves new leadership.

Students in the 21st Century face a growing mental health crisis, serious economic challenges and vast disparities in educational resources. Enriching programs–arts, music, science and technology–as well as career counselors, school nurses and psychologists, are often on the chopping block, leaving our kids with a lower shot at a great career than we had growing up.

As a small businessman with a background in finance and the arts, I’ll work to ensure East County’s school districts remain in the black, while championing additional student resources that parents and teachers know our kids deserve. 

The County Office of Education’s roles include fiscal oversight of our school districts, management of our juvenile justice education system and coordination of our county’s special education programs. My experience balancing budgets, parenting kids and working to uplift at-risk neighbors in community organizations will direct my leadership on the board.

I pledge to represent our East County community with integrity, innovation and collaboration.

I hope to earn your vote. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me any time at justin (at) justinbrown2022.org or (925) 308-6286.

JUSTIN’S PRIORITIES FOR EAST COUNTY KIDS

Mental health supports for happier kids
