John,

When I take over as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, I know my team will have to get to work immediately making public education the focus of the agency again.

That's why I'm honored to have the support of former state superintendents Denise Juneau, Linda McCulloch, and Nancy Keenan.

In a new op-ed ([link removed]) , they lay out the stakes of this race, and why it is critically important that we elect a public education advocate to this office. They understand what this agency is capable of with competent leadership, and know how to ensure the Office of Public Instruction helps every student. As your next state superintendent, I will restore and build upon their legacy.

We have 18 days to do everything we can to rebuild what they started, but we can't get there without you. Will you join them in supporting our race and chip in $25 today?

Sidney Herald: Former education officials unite against Arntzen ([link removed])
Denise Juneau, Linda McCulloch, Nancy Keenan

Highlights:

"For 28 years, we had the great honor of serving Montana as Superintendents of Public Instruction. In that time, we increased funding for Montana’s public schools, improved graduation rates, and defended our public education system against those who would privatize it.

"Unfortunately, the current officeholder, Elsie Arntzen, has spent the last four years unravelling all our past achievements — and if she gets four more years, there might not be much left to defend.

"When our public schools have needed her most, she has been nowhere to be found. The last four years, she has spent more time attending private school rallies, applauding budget proposals that would cut millions from Montana’s public schools, mismanaging her office, and illegally diverting aid to private and for-profit schools.

"We’ve never been able to count on Elsie to do what’s right for our children, and we certainly can’t count on her when the stakes are this high. In this critical time, we need a leader at the Office of Public Instruction who will advocate for our schools and students. That person is Melissa Romano."
Let's make Denise, Linda and Nancy proud. Please consider joining our campaign today to restore leadership to the Office of Public Instruction. ([link removed])
