As a result of his daughter's disorder,Slade became involved in her school,which then evolved into a seat on his local site council and finally a seat on the Kyrene School Board. While on the Kyrene School Board,Mead became "frustrated and dismayed" by the state's funding of their public schools. He then became frustrated with his State Senator,Lori Daniels,who seemed "indifferent to the situation". He decided to run against her.
