Letter To The Editor: We Need Michelle McCabe In Hartford

Press release from Carlisle Spivey:

November 1 2020

Education is fundamental. It provides a platform for understanding and attacking problems for individuals and families, and for building a dynamic economy. No news there. And no news, too, that education in Connecticut has fundamental issues needing fundamental responses. Today, our government officials who plan policy, can’t simply continue to react to every emergency that comes their way as it comes their way—whether a pandemic or disturbing study results. We need someone with experience in planning ahead and developing policies not only for the present but the future as well.

Michelle McCabe has the skills for and experience in tackling some of the biggest economic challenges facing the people of Connecticut, honed by working with Connecticut communities. These inspire her vision for Connecticut: building a better future for our state. Michelle has the ability to devise dynamic plans and policies to address the gap in educational advancement caused by the pandemic and to invest in our ability to respond to future emergencies. She’s tackled problems like these before. Michelle knows how to work with educators to develop robust online learning options that work both for students and teachers. She’s done it before. And she’s committed to developing a pathway to universal pre-K, one of the most basic building blocks for educational.

We need Michelle McCabe in Hartford. She has a track record for success in attacking community problems at the community level. She has the professional, on-the ground experience that will help drive the fundamental challenges we face in Connecticut, rather than complacently accept the same-old/same-old. She has my vote on November 3.
