For the at-large position, I'm voting for Christopher Scott because he not taken outside money like Ms. Sewall, and he consistently fought for neighborhood schools as well as supporting parental and community voices in the decision making process for DPS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-54432783405615340352009-10-22T14:17:05.163-06:002009-10-22T14:17:05.163-06:00I just received a phone call with a message delive...I just received a phone call with a message delivered by Christopher Scott's recorded voice. I did not appreciate this kind of interruption, and it signals to me that he and his staff are inconsiderate and lazy. I am now motivated to vote in this election so I can vote against him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-76178818513024139522009-10-22T13:44:16.542-06:002009-10-22T13:44:16.542-06:00Andrew, please correct my endorsements.

To date, my campaign is endorsed by:<br /> <br />The Denver Classroom Teachers’ Association (DCTA); The Denver Area Labor Federation Voices for Choice - Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood; The Denver Board of REALTORS; The Diverse Neighborhood Collective Steering Committee; Paul Lopez, Denver City Councilman; Paul Sandoval, Former State Senator; Arturo Jimenez, Denver Public Schools Board Member; Jeannie Kaplin, Denver Public Schools Board Member; JD MacFarlane, Former Colorado State Representative, Colorado State Senator, Chief Deputy Colorado Public Defender, Colorado Attorney General, and the Denver Manager of Public Safety; and John McBride, Community Activist and local businessman<br /> <br />Regarding your misrepresentation of my commitment to strong neighborhood schools as "i.e. anti-charter," the DPS community is looking to the board to use all the tools at its disposal. This includes charter schools. The continued insistence by some to over-simplify this election as merely "charter v. non-charter" is divisive and does the voters and the candidates a disservice. We must all work together to craft solutions to the problems of high drop out rates and limited resources. <br /><br />Finally, I am running for the district 4 race, not district 5.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Nate Easley<br />Candidate, DPS District 4<br />www.easley4dps4.comNate Easleyhttp://www.easley4dps4.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-72404461650370404352009-10-15T20:29:30.889-06:002009-10-15T20:29:30.889-06:00Andrew, Arturo Jimenez is not stepping down.

It's Jill Conrad that's declined to run again.<br /><br />Also, as a point of clarification, though Michelle Moss is the current seat-holder in District 2, she is term limited. Incidentally, she has also endorsed me (Andrea Merida).<br /><br />Thanks!Andrea Meridahttp://andreamerida.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-58646120665525587602009-10-15T20:27:46.456-06:002009-10-15T20:27:46.456-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Andrea Meridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815903412829924359noreply@blogger.com
