Hi John,

Schools across Oregon are now back in session. Parents across the state can breathe a sigh of relief that after a long, hot summer, teachers, staff, and administrators are ready to dive into a new school year, especially after two really challenging years.

If you have school-age children, we at the Democratic Party of Oregon, especially the dedicated members of our Education Caucus, hope that the beginning of the school year is going well for you and yours.

Of course, the turning of the calendar to September also means that we have only two months before the 2022 election, and this is a BIG one. We know that schools, educators, and school boards are under regular attack by right-wing extremists.

To protect our kids from these extremists, we must elect Tina Kotek as Governor and grow our majorities in the U.S. Senate and House by electing Sen. Ron Wyden, and our great Democratic Congressional team: Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Val Hoyle, Jamie McLeod-Skinner, Andrea Salinas, and Joe Yetter.

It’s critical that we elect an education champion as Governor, and that’s Tina Kotek! Tina has spent her career fighting for stronger schools for our kids, and she won’t stop anytime soon. Check out what Tina has to say about her plans to strengthen our schools as governor:

“From my earliest days in the legislature working on improving school nutrition and strengthening access to school nurses, to my leadership as Speaker to achieve historic new investments in pre-K - 12th grade through the the Student Success Act, I am committed to make sure every student in Oregon has a strong, equitable pathway to educational success.”

Tina Kotek’s platform will:

*
Improve
Oregon’s
graduation
rates
to
90%
for
all
student
groups
by
2027.
*
Reduce
the
time
dedicated
to
standardized
testing
and
focus
on
real-time
assessments
to
monitor
student
learning.
*
Restore
child
care
capacity
that
was
lost
during
the
pandemic,
maximize
federal
dollars
to
expand
access
to
pre-K
for
Oregon
families,
and
improve
access
to
infant
and
toddler
care
by
cutting
the
red
tape
that
limits
where
home-based
child
care
providers
can
operate.
*
Increase
educational
achievement
for
rural
youth
and
youth
of
color
by
expanding
investments
in
community-led
initiatives.
*
Accelerate
career
and
technical
education
program
growth
in
economically
disadvantaged
areas
of
the
state.

To support these critical priorities please join the Democratic Party of Oregon’s amazing volunteer voter-contact program which has proven over and over that it wins tough elections. People power – neighbors talking to neighbors at their front doors or over the phone – is the only way to cut through the lies that voters read on social media or see on Fox News.
