People standing with Max.

Kelsey Dawson

Osseo School Board Member

“I'm proud to endorse Max Maher for the Osseo Area School Board. I've had the opportunity to watch Max consistently show up for our students, families, and educators. He doesn't just talk about improving our schools—he attends board meetings, participates in public comment, asks thoughtful questions, and advocates for decisions that put students first. Max understands effective governance, values strong academics, supports our educators, and brings a fresh perspective rooted in accountability and a deep commitment to our community. I know he'll be a strong leader for Osseo Area Schools.”

“I am proud to endorse Max Maher for Osseo School Board! Max is a thoughtful problem solver and critical thinker with years of experience as an IT staff member in education. He is ready to take on the technical challenges of school leadership, while also grounding every decision in the realities of the classroom and the needs of the scholars, teachers, and families. I look forward to partnering with him to serve our community.”

Mike Pitt, MD

Pediatrician · Small Business Owner · District Resident

“As a pediatrician, I’m voting for Max Maher because we need leaders who are genuinely committed to acting in the best interests of children, not just grandstanding. Time and time again, Max has shown up for kids in our district and spoken up to ensure they have safe, welcoming spaces to learn and grow. I wish more engaged citizens followed his example: refusing to sit on the sidelines, choosing action over frustration, and stepping into the ring to make a difference.”

Heather Kirst

Maple Grove Resident · Licensed Social Worker (MSW, LGSW)

“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 well-being.”
