Friends,
At our recent community meetings, families have shared a common frustration: they want to know where leaders stand on the issues that matter most to their children's future, especially when it comes to the reading crisis. We’ve seen firsthand that when parents and educators are armed with clear, honest information, they don't just sit back - they take action. That's exactly how change happens. With the Gubernatorial Primary approaching, the most powerful way we can act together and demand a better system for our kids is by heading to the ballot box.
To create the change our communities need, we must ensure our voices are heard, and there’s no better time to become informed than right now. We've made it easier than ever to find the facts without having to dig through complicated websites. Our Voting Resources page has everything you need to get started: a candidate guide outlining the responsibilities, power and questions to ask the gubernatorial candidates, quick links to check your registration status, and find your polling location map.
Our kids can't wait for adults to slowly figure this out. Raising the bar for Wisconsin’s kids starts with showing up to the polls as informed as possible. When families have the right tools, they act. Let's head to the polls and show that we are committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to read well. Because when families and schools partner, kids win.
