One week to Victory!

We are just one week from taking our next critical step towards ensuring a new direction for our children. On Tuesday, August 24th, Arizona Democrats and independents who opt to vote in the Democratic primary will have the opportunity to choose who will best serve this state as the next Superintendent of Public Instruction and who will best represent our Democratic values against the Republican Party nominee in the general election.

It has been 16 years since Arizonans elected a Democrat and an educator to lead our public schools. The status quo and special interest insiders have failed to provide excellent public schools for all of Arizona's children. It's time to elect a Superintendent of Public Instruction who will be a true advocate for our children, someone who will put our kids first and stop at nothing to ensure every child has access to an excellent public education.

I was honored to earn the Democratic Party nomination when I ran for this position in 2006. In the general election that year, with your help, I came close to beating the Republican incumbent. In fact, it was the closest of all the statewide races. We just needed about 25 more votes per precinct. With the momentum we've built since then, and the grassroots movement you've helped to create, I know we can earn the votes needed to win this election for our children this year. We must change the direction our state is headed and do what's right for our children.

When you mark your ballot, I ask you to join the many leaders who have endorsed my candidacy, as well as the more than 2000 people who pledged their support with a $5 Clean Elections Qualifying Contribution, and vote Jason Williams for Superintendent of Public Instruction. To ensure victory, I also ask you to share this message with your family, friends and colleagues so they can join you in voting Jason Williams for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Thank you for your support and your vote.

The primary election is just one week away - Tuesday, August 24th. Please remember to share this message with family, friends and colleagues, and vote Jason Williams for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Also, we need your help to Get Out the Vote (GOTV) every day from now until Election Day. If you can join our GOTV efforts, please contact my campaign headquarters at helpkids@williamsforarizona.com or (602) 795-4734.
