Deliver for our kids. Deliver for our teachers.
Deliver for Ann Arbor.
Deliver for our kids. Deliver for our teachers.
Deliver for Ann Arbor.
Our teachers deserve a living wage. Without competitive salaries, AAPS cannot retain and attract the talented educators our children need. A vote for Aaron is a vote for higher teacher salaries.
For too long this district has failed our most vulnerable community members. We must end the culture of disinvestment and build a district that truly serves every student—including those with disabilities.
Every Ann Arbor child deserves the world-class education this district is capable of delivering. We will stop the exodus of families to other districts and reclaim our position as the best in Michigan.

My name is Aaron J. Puno and I’m a proud product of Ann Arbor Public Schools. I graduated from Pioneer High School in 2023 after thirteen happy years in this district — years that gave me everything I needed to mount this serious effort for public office.
Many of you may know me as editor-in-chief of the Pioneer Optimist, where I learned to listen, ask hard questions, and hold institutions accountable. Now I want to hold our school board to the same standard.
The world-class education I received here should be a fulfilled birthright of every child in this city — not a dream deferred.
This campaign runs on community power. Knock doors, make calls, or chip in — every action brings us closer to a better AAPS.
