Endorses Gretchen Whitmer

For Governor of Michigan

CENTERLINE 01-15-2018: On a snowy wintry day at Wolfe Middle School in Centerline, Michigan at precisely 1 pm in front of an auditorium packed full of enthusiastic teachers and invited guests Paula Herbart the President of the Michigan Education Association energetically endorsed former Michigan House Representative, Leader of the Michigan Senate and Ingham County Prosecutor Gretchen Whitmer for the esteemed position of Michigan Governor.

The announcement was met with a rousing response and standing ovation by everyone in the audience.

As she was surrounded by MEA Leadership, senior staff, rank and file teachers and her two children Gretchen Whitmer began to mesmerize the audience with her eloquently delivered message to them. She spoke of her long family heritage of teaching professionals, and that she and now her own children attend public school. She spoke of the recent victory by the MEA to recover the 3% monies taken unconstitutionally from the teachers, and continued to point out and tout the value of a high quality public school system – stating “Our economy demands it!” She made a commitment to work hard to deliver a quality education for every Michigan child regardless of race, creed, geographic location, social or economic status.

Governor Candidate Gretchen Whitmer then began to address the attacks, injustices and inequities being perpetrated upon theĀ  public school systems of not only Michigan, but on the entire United States. She pointed to United States Secretary of Education – Betsy DeVos, a woman with no known education background, as one of the principle persons leading that charge.

She closed with a sincere and genuine commitment to each and every teaching professional to make their job better and to re-appropriate the monies needed to properly run a school system, to include monies for paper, pencils and other supplies that should never be required to be paid out of a teachers personal monies.
