John,

I’m emailing you today because it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and I wanted to ask you a favor:

Will you sign this card to say thank you to America’s educators? And if you’re a teacher yourself, let us know and sign up for Educators for Tester!

As a former public school teacher and school board member myself, I know this well: Public education is the great equalizer in our country, but not every school has the resources needed for their students to thrive.

That’s why I’m working hard in the Senate to ensure that Montana kids from all walks of life can access a quality education as well as counseling, extracurricular activities, and mental health resources in public schools.

Giving Montana students the tools they need to thrive will always be an important priority for me, and I’ll work with anyone to ensure that our public schools—especially in rural communities—aren’t left behind.

So please, take a moment and add your name to show your appreciation for all of our country’s teachers. And remember, if you’re an educator yourself, be sure to mark that down to add your name behind Educators for Tester.

Thanks for taking the time to stand up for public schools.
