Candidate for Osseo School Board

Strong academics.Support for teachers.Scholars ready to succeed.

Max Maher

I’m Max Maher, and I’m running for the Osseo Area School Board because strong public schools don’t happen by accident. They require focus, accountability, and leadership that keeps students at the center of every decision.

Over the past several months, I’ve talked with parents, teachers, and neighbors across our district. I’ve heard where we can do better. That means strengthening academic outcomes, supporting educators in meaningful ways, and making sure every student has a clear path to succeed.

That’s the work I’m ready to take on.

Max Maher is the kind of leader our schools need right now. In my work as a therapist supporting youth, I’ve seen how critical it is for students to feel safe, supported, and accepted at school. Max has been a consistent advocate for creating those environments and for ensuring every student has the opportunity to learn and thrive. He will lead with empathy, thoughtfulness, and a clear commitment to student wellbeing.
