My name is Paul Carver, and I am honored to serve as the current Board President of the Deer Valley Unified School District. As a proud graduate of Deer Valley High School, Class of ’88, a United States Marine Corps veteran, and an MBA graduate from the University of Phoenix, I have dedicated my life to service—whether in uniform, in my community, or as a father of eight.

Having lived in Phoenix for most of my life, I’ve witnessed incredible growth and change in our community. But not all change is good. Over the years, I’ve seen the innocence of our children compromised and their education politicized. Our schools should be a place where children are inspired to learn, grow, and thrive—not battlegrounds for political agendas.

In today’s challenging environment, it’s more important than ever for everyday citizens to take a stand for what’s right. I’m committed to protecting our children, strengthening our schools, and ensuring a bright future for our community. Together, we can preserve the values that make Arizona great and provide every child with the opportunity to succeed.

Join me in this mission. Let’s continue to stand up for our children, our community, and our country. I would be honored to earn your vote in the upcoming November 2026 election.
