“My name is Christine, and I'm a middle school educator in the state of Missouri and a longtime friend of LaVanna Wrobley. With Missouri students returning to the classroom this fall, there's no better time to discuss educational policies in the state of Missouri. LaVanna believes that every child in our state deserves access to a high-quality education, and we simply cannot afford to accept the status quo.

Just 36% of Missouri fourth graders scored at or above proficient in reading. Our children deserve better, and LaVanna is a new voice for parents and children. She is prepared to fight for common sense reforms that strengthen K through 12 education, improve reading and math outcomes, and support our teachers through better preparation and fair compensation.

Our teachers, students, and parents can trust LaVanna to be a fresh, committed advocate for educational change in Missouri.

November third, I will be voting for LaVanna Wrobley.

And I hope you will too.”
