Learn Where the Candidates Stand on Issues
/Dear Digital Public School Supporters,
Those who have supported our efforts over the years know that it is elected state officials who will ultimately decide whether our digital public schools survive and thrive here in Washington.
As part of the Washington Digital Public Schools Alliance, your voice is critical to protect digital public school options for our kids.
Please consider making your voice heard by BECOMING AN INFORMED VOTER:
To learn how candidates support digital public schools, we circulated a candidate questionnaire to every 2022 Washington legislative candidate. Our 2022 Voter Guide will help you find out if the candidates seeking to represent you in Olympia responded to our questionnaire. Not all candidates responded; the guide shows what they said about digital public schools.
View the Voter Guide: Candidates are listed in alphabetical order in the guide. There are two tabs, one for Senate candidates and one for House candidates . If you don’t know who represents you or in which legislative district you live, click here and type your address into the form. (Please note that this will link you to your legislative district and your current state legislators, some of whom may not be running for re-election or may not have responded to our questionnaire.)
MOST IMPORTANTLY, VOTE AND RETURN YOUR BALLOT BY NOVEMBER 8th.
ADVOCATING FOR OUR CHILDREN: You can do this! Advocating is made up of simple actions such as sending an email to a legislator, making a phone call or writing a letter to your local paper. These actions give you an opportunity to tell legislators and the public why a digital public school is the right fit for your child and your family.
Sign up here and let us know how you can help. Your voice is needed, and it will make a difference!
We hope this information is helpful, and we look forward to working with you in the 2023 legislative session to protect access to quality digital public schools.
Sincerely,
Mark Martinez
President
