The Parents’ Campaign does not endorse candidates – that’s up to you to decide. Our job is to share with you what candidates have to say about their support for public schools, so please take advantage of the information in our Candidate Q&As before you vote today.
Elections have real consequences. Just a few minutes of your time to research candidates and cast your vote can make a big difference for our children and our public schools. Together, we’ve got this!
