Kira Davis
October 21, 2022
Kira Davis has lived in the Area 2 district for 15 years with her husband and two children. She has a Bachelors Degree in Theatre from Northwestern College of Iowa.
As the Deputy Managing Editor for RedState, a conservative political blog, Davis is an opinion journalist and writer. She has a podcast, “Just Listen to Yourself”, and Davis has appeared on Fox News and is a regular guest host at Los Angeles’s KABC radio. In the past, she was also the Executive Director of the Spirit of God Accelerated Education, an after-school Program in Gary, Indiana that offers tutoring and mentoring to students.
Biggest Issue Facing CUSD
“I am a parent who made the choice to send my kids to CUSD. We moved here on purpose because we know that CUSD has potential to be an amazing district. I have been disappointed to see the lack of transparency and accountability, but these can be fixed. It is of more concern that when parents, like me, speak up, we are ignored or shut down. It is time we all get on the same page for the students,” said Davis.
Davis says parent opinion is not considered enough by the school board.
“The biggest issue facing CUSD is that it seems no one is considering students in the decision making process. When parents speak up, they are ignored or told to stop. This has to change,” said Davis.
Top Priorities if Elected

- Transparency
- Accountability

I noticed Mr. Parham was endorsed by and is being funded by the teachers’ union. For me, that’s a red flag. An opportunist politician like Parham, jumping from board to board across Orange County, isn’t the answer.
Most people I know are voting for Kira Davis! It’s time for BOLD, grassroots leadership in CUSD. Time to put parents and students first, not special interests or politics.

I commend Parham for wanting to work in his local School Board where his kids go to school. Having an endorsement from the teachers he will be serving is a big green flag for me since the Board has authority on curriculum and hiring process for the district. Both teachers and parents have students as number one priority and I see that value in Parham.
The red flag I see is that Kira Davis accepts money for her campaign from Lincoln Club (a special interest group) which makes this a political race instead of non-partisan.

Why would an endorsement from the teacher’s union be a red flag? I don’t consider them an enemy—as a community, we entrust them with our children and their education almost daily.
I also don’t see Parham’s experience and tenure on the Irvine school board as a black mark. Irvine takes their education very seriously and there is no way he would have been elected three times if he wasn’t qualified for the job. And that is what I’m looking for—someone who is qualified. And I’d prefer that they leave politics out of it, which concerns me as I’ve seen some posts by Davis that are both politically charged AND factually incorrect. I’d love to see CUSD turning out students that score as well as Irvine’s students and matriculate to the colleges and universities they do.

The teachers unions are an enemy of the people, especially poorer families…
Teachers unions oppress poor kids by opposing school choice
