John,
49th in the nation.
That’s where Arizona falls in median teacher pay.
We’ve ranked toward the bottom of the list for years, and that’s got to change. Every student deserves a great education, but how can that happen when our entire state is facing a teacher shortage due to low salaries? When our teacher-to-student ratio is the highest in the nation?
For Arizona to prosper for generations to come, we have to fully fund education. We have to close the achievement gap that leaves students behind. Putting people first is key to making those things happen, and our people-powered campaign is 100% behind supporting education.
Our teachers and our students need fierce representation in Congress. Supporting our campaign means supporting the educational overhaul and investment we desperately need.
If we don’t act now, our kids will bear the burden of a system that’s leaving them behind. The impact on our state’s future will be huge if we don’t start investing in them now. As the only true progressive in this race, I’ll fight for what the people of all ages in this state need - advocates.
We hope you’ll stand with us in our vision for fundamental change and stand with our kids.
In solidarity,
Eva
