Unite for Education held an excellent candidate forum on Friday night. All of the candidates for AZ house, AZ senate and CD5 were in attendance. Each candidate made a 3 minute statement and was available for informal question and answer.
The forum was an excellent opportunity to hear from all of the candidates in one place.
Overall it reinforced my existing choices:
LaCinda Lewis (AZ house) - Articulate, passionate about education and wants to significantly improve the communication between state and local government. Our current legislators have been the opposite of local control, so this is a breath of fresh air!
Jimmy Lindblom (AZ senate) - Jimmy spoke from the heart about the importance of education and its necessity to unlock doors for all. He also has a strong business background.
Christine Jones (CD5) - Very well spoken, understands importance of education on a personal level (husband is a teacher), strong business background and understands the need to work together in order to get things done. I don't agree with all of her positions but I have confidence in her ability to be a successful leader in Washington.
