Vote Castillo

to support public education
I was glad to see that The Register-Guard had the wisdom to endorse Susan Castillo as the most qualified candidate for school superintendent. As its endorsement pointed out, Castillo is well-known and well-respected in this area because of her past media experience and her past service in Salem representing the people.
Rob Kremer, who is being supported by Bill Sizemore, is using a computerized phone message to falsely state that Castillo is a member of the extreme left. Castillo is not an extreme anything.
As a person who has spent most of my working career in the field of education and who presently represents Springfield on the Lane Community College Board of Trustees, I know that Castillo is a supporter of public education and that Kremer is not. Our schools are all facing the necessity of making major cuts, because in large part of the efforts of Bill Sizemore and his supporters.
To me, the race represents a clear and stark choice. If you want your schools to have their budgets cut further, then vote for Kremer, the Sizemore clone. However, if you value education and recognize the importance of public education to your children and the economy of Oregon, vote for Susan Castillo.
