Arizona Education Association Backs Rodney Glassman
July 27, 2010
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rodney Glassman has received the endorsement of the Arizona Education Association for his deep commitment to the importance of education.
“The Arizona Education Association is proud to recommend Rodney Glassman for U.S. Senate,” said AEA President Andrew Morrill. “Rodney understands the critical importance of investing in our educators and schools to deliver the education that Arizona’s students need to compete in a 21st-century global economy. Rodney understands that strong public schools build a strong state economy. Educators and families have a friend in Rodney Glassman.”
Glassman said he was honored by the AEA’s backing, noting that “teachers are on the front lines of our education system.”
“Education is the key to any child’s successful future,” Glassman said. “Arizona ranks dead last in classroom dollars and that’s unacceptable. We need to promote a culture that truly values education in homes, in the media and in the classroom.”
The AEA is a 32,000-member statewide organization composed of classroom teachers and education-support professionals.
