The Network for Public Education Action Fund endorses Vangie Williams for Congress in Virginia!

Vangie Williams is running in Virginia’s First Congressional District. She is a graduate of public schools and her six daughters are enrolled in public schools.

“She understands how low teacher pay and morale has led to a teacher shortage in her state.

“Some of the important issues she identified in Virginia’s public schools were the need for more seats for early childhood education/preschool, and insufficient funding and resources for school infrastructure renovations and improvements.

“On the topic of high-stakes standardized testing she told NPE Action that she sees a need for a greater commitment to authentic, real-world learning experiences and richer and more meaningful metrics to measure children’s educational abilities and accomplishments.

“Most importantly, she told us that she is against the movement to privatize public education.”

Her voice is urgently needed in Congress to represent public school parents and teachers and the people not funded by Big Money.

Williams is refusing funding from corporate PACs. She is counting on many individual contributions. She needs our help. She has mine. Crowd-funding is the key to a better future.

Please send her whatever you can afford.
