Keeping education a top priority is not only important to my children and your children, but to our state’s economy. I want positive change so strongly that I’m willing to support both a Democrat and a Republican by knocking on doors and making phone calls.

Our state needs both Marcie Maxwell and Steve Litzow to help our state make smarter investments in public education.

Marcie has shown herself to be a strong, dedicated leader through her support of public education over the last two years while serving as my representative in the 41st District. She is the House Education Vice Chair, and she received a special appointment to the Quality Education Council. She deserves the chance to continue this important work.

Steve will make a strong 41st district senator because he is committed to significantly improving and fully funding public schools as well as raising high school graduation requirements so all kids are ready for college or a career. Both are goals that I strongly support.

Please vote for Marcie Maxwell and Steve Litzow in the 41st! Our kids need these committed leaders today!
