Great news for Democrat
Carole Pratt, running for House of Delegates against incumbent Anne Crockett-Stark in the 6th district. Go Carole!
The Virginia Education Association has endorsed Carole Pratt, candidate for the House of Delegates. The organization, which represents hundreds of educators in the 6th district, cited Carole’s candor and commitment to improving public education from pre-kindergarten through adulthood as the basis for their support. A product of our public schools and universities, Carole will continue to be a tireless advocate for an education system that equips all of our children to compete.
This endorsement is especially important because the VEA endorsed the incumbent, Delegate Crockett-Stark, in 2007. This makes the VEA the first group to switch their support to challenger Carole Pratt.
“Carole is very knowledgeable on the issues facing educators and students, and we trust her do what is right for our public schools,” added Shannon Turner, President of the Pulaski County Education Association. “She will be an advocate for children and educators and we look forward to working with her in the General Assembly.”
“The support of the VEA is something every candidate hopes to earn, and I am thrilled by this endorsement,” said Carole Pratt. “Together, we will never stop working to ensure that all children, regardless of zip code, are provided with an education that prepares them to compete in a global marketplace. Education is so important to improving the lives of our young people, and as a delegate I will always put the families and children of this district first.”
Pratt serves as a Pulaski County Public Schools Education Foundation board member and is a past chair of the New River Community College Education Foundation. She is also a member of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association.
