City of Tempe Mayor
I have known Franklin for nearly two decades. He is an accomplished leader who has served his community in capacities ranging from Kyrene’s Student Superintendent Council, the City of Tempe’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission to Congressional staffer. I am excited that Franklin has embarked on this journey to give back to the school district he attended as a student. I am honored to endorse Franklin Zyriek’s candidacy for the Kyrene School District’s Governing Board.

Franklin is dedicated to our Kyrene community. As a former Kyrene Kid, he knows and cares about the schools and the people of our district. He has developed his professional and academic experiences to bring business skills and community values to support Kyrene students to reach their full potential. He will be a great and respectful communicator among taxpayers, businesses, and the professional educators in our Kyrene Community.

Given his deep family ties to public education and his own experience as a Kyrene Kid, Franklin will ensure that all Kyrene students have the opportunity to succeed. As a former Kyrene parent, I know that Franklin has the skills and integrity to make well-informed decisions to benefit all of Kyrene and do what’s best for students, parents, teachers, and taxpayers.
