As the former Student Body President of Los Angeles Southwest College, I had the honor of representing over 5,000 students—many of whom, like myself, came from communities too often overlooked by the systems meant to serve us. I know firsthand the power of bold, visionary leadership in education. That’s why I proudly endorse Nichelle Henderson for California State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Nichelle is not just an educator—she is a lifelong advocate for equity, student empowerment, and transformative change. She understands that our schools must do more than teach; they must inspire, protect, and uplift every student—regardless of zip code, background, or learning ability. Her unwavering commitment to public education, to teachers, to families, and to the underserved gives me hope for a stronger, more inclusive future for California’s youth. We deserve a leader who sees the full potential of every student and fights every day to make sure our education system reflects that belief. Nichelle Henderson is that leader. Let’s make history. Let’s make progress. Let’s elect Nichelle Henderson. — Jeremiah Stephens Former Student Body President, Los Angeles Southwest College

Nichelle Henderson is the Superintendent of Public Instruction that is needed at this time! Henderson’s ability to advocate for our schools is already in practice. With the working knowledge and experience of what’s needed in our schools, Henderson will be the candidate to set our schools up to close the achievement gap and to be a place of opportunity for our students in their perspective communities.

I have first-hand experience working with Nichelle and a vote for her is a vote for a change in the paradigm of public education system for the best. As a product of the public school system I know first-hand the importance of a committed leader, one that understands that “one size doesn’t fit all” Nichelle is that person. She doesn’t provide promise she cannot keep. A vote for Nichelle Henderson is a vote for all students striving for a better future.
