CHAMPIONS OF FAMILY ISSUES. There are women at every level of government from Park Board to US Senate making decisions that impact your choices as a parent.

There are women at every level of government from Park Board to US Senate making decisions that impact your choices as a parent. This month we would like to feature a few of the womenwinning supported candidates who are working hard to broaden your choices as a parent.

Rep. Nora Slawik Truly a champion of family issues in Minnesota, Representative Nora Slawik (District 55B) serves as the Chair of the Early Childhood Learning Finance Division and serves on the committees of K-12 Education Policy, Education Finance and Economic Competitiveness Finance Division. She authored several important bills in 2009 that will impact kids and families. In her House Informational Interview, Slawik cites her interest in politics beginning with her son entering special education, and ‘trying to figure out the maze’ of what that meant. Slawik has brought her passion for quality education to the House for five terms. womenwinning applauds Rep. Slawik for her work! Click here to watch the House video conversation.

Hon. Pam Costain Minneapolis School Board Member Pam Costain was born into a family of teachers, and grew up believing that teaching is a noble profession. Joining the school board has enabled her to set the bar for high expectations and excellent classroom instruction for all kids, regardless of family income, race or circumstances. One of her focuses is on eliminating the “opportunity gap”. She helped to found and was the first state director of Save Our Schools/Parents United Network. This important organization organizes parents to support adequate funding for public education at the legislature. Ever wondered how the school board works with the legislature and other boards to get things done? Check out Board Member Costain’s website for her vision of shared responsibility.
