Support a Governor Who Supports Education
I believe that Utah's children, as the future of our state, should receive the world class education they deserve. I also firmly believe that the current administration's policies have failed to provide the support that Utah's educators and students need to accomplish this goal.
Why is this important?
The Utah Education Association PAC’s endorsement of Utah Gov. Gary Herbert cannot be allowed to distract Utahns from talking about the facts regarding the lack of support Utah teachers and schools have received under the Herbert Administration.
We can all agree Utah has the best teachers, parents, and family oriented communities in the country. All of this is true in spite of a chronic lack of support for our students and teachers from Utah's state government.
We are calling on Utahns to show their support for a new administration that will lead a reform of our education system, where teachers can once again be proud of their profession, where the state leads the nation in education – not follows behind in last place – and where the Governor’s Office stands shoulder to shoulder with Utahns for a better education.
