Support Dick Schwab for House District 73

I am supporting Dick Schwab in the June 5 Democratic primary for House District 73 because of his views on education.
A public education should not become the safety net for families who can't afford private schools. Public schools seem to be under attack with efforts to privatize education and divert dollars to private and out of state online schools. We need a strong public education system and after hearing Schwab talk about his vision to improve our schools, he is the best candidate.
He believes a great K-12 education must be free and available to all. He is committed to bringing innovation to our education system to help teachers provide instruction that meets the needs of all students. Because of Schwab's years on the Solon Board of Education, he is well prepared.
