We are desperate for change here in the 1st Legislative District. Having lived in Bothell, we have observed two decades of decline. Despite Rosemary’s tenured efforts to “you scratch my political back, I’ll scratch yours,” she has failed to deliver improved education and quality of life for most of us, the taxpayers and their dependents. Dawn McCravey has shouldered the task to change the slumping direction we have been going within education. She understands the feet on the ground, which live life in its trenches.
Dawn sees the disappointment most of us have expressed in the state government’s decisions to: continuously spend money on endless redundant studies, force students to be held accountable to high stakes testing while adults in the system are protected from accountability, narrow the definition and scope of education to what can be “tested,” and continuously decrease funding as a percentage of the state budget.
I’ve gotten to know Dawn. She has the ability identify what is salient to a problem and rally people to its solution. People, from all walks of life who meet Dawn, love her and are optimistic for our community again. She not only understands politics but also statesmanship.
She has proven herself in desperately needed education improvements, protection of environmental gems, and community heart and togetherness. I am voting for Dawn McCravey, state Senate; in hopes that her experience, tenacity and wisdom can make the difference we desperately need for our children and the place they call “home.”
