Our next governor must be committed to building an education system that prepares every student for life after high school, whether it’s college, job training or work.
For education voters, the choice is clear: re-elect Governor Chris Gregoire.
In Governor Gregoire’s first term, she proved to be a hands-on, tenacious advocate for education. She seized every opportunity to make children and education her top priority. Under her leadership, Washington State:
- Invested in high-quality early learning opportunities and all-day kindergarten to help every child read by third grade;
- Ensured that 84,000 more children have access to health care;
- Fully funded voter-approved initiatives to lower class sizes and boost pay for educators; and
- Added 10,000 new enrollments at our state’s colleges and universities and increased financial aid to open the doors of opportunity for more young people.
Nearly 30 years have gone by since our state updated our K-12 finance system. Under Governor Gregoire’s leadership, we’re finally on track to reform and fully fund Washington’s schools to prepare all students for today’s global economy.
Make Washington schools among the very best in the nation. Re-elect Governor Chris Gregoire!
