It’s election time... do you know where your candidates are on education reform?
It's election time and there are old and new candidates running for various seats. FOCUS has set up the Candidate Watch page to help the DC Voters in our charter community keep up with who is running for which office and what they think about charter schools and education issues in DC. To accomplish this, FOCUS has crafted a candidate questionnaire for the following races: Council At-Large, and Ward Councilmembers. FOCUS will not support or endorse any candidate, but we can make sure you have information about all candidates (who have submitted petitions to be on the ballot) including short bios so that you can make an informed decision and get out and vote in the spring primary and special elections!
