Republican UA President Emeritus John Schaefer adds to his Democratic endorsement list

by David Safier

I already wrote about John Schaefer's endorsement of LD-26's Nancy Young Wright and Cheryl Cage in a post detailing R endorsements of D candidates statewide. Now Schaefer has expanded his endorsement list to include all the Democratic candidates in LD-25 and LD-30, along with Penny Kotterman for Ed Supe.

The factor linking all those candidates is their support of education.

Thank you for your support of education in Arizona. In the upcoming election it is critical to elect pro-education candidates, regardless of party, who are truly committed to the children and future of Arizona. This link (Pro-Education Candidates) has a list of names of pro-education candidates that I ask you to vote for on November 2nd. Please share this information with your family, friends and colleagues.

While I recognize that many of you have already given to candidates this year, there is a critical need to help Representative Pat Fleming and Todd Camenisch finish strong.

Representative Fleming stood against cuts to education that are decimating our public education system and crippling our community colleges and universities. Todd Camenisch is committed to education as seen with his pledge not to cut education and his work as an Associate Professor at the University of Arizona and service on the Catalina Foothills School Board. Both candidates recognize the importance of education to creating jobs and moving Arizona forward.

Please give as much as you can give to one or both of these candidates. It will cost us all far more if these candidates are not successful in their elections.

We still have an opportunity to affect the makeup of the upcoming Legislature. Currently, there is a real risk that the next Legislature could be even less education friendly than the past one. Each of us can make a difference. I ask that you assist in this effort by voting for pro-education candidates on November 2nd and by contributing to these pro-education candidates as you can.
Thank You for working with me to support education in Arizona!
