Hi Married With Two Boys
readers!
My name is Kate. I’m a
teacher, journalist, and, just like Sojourner, a mother of two boys. My husband
is Jason Carter, candidate for Governor here in Georgia. This Monday, with
my boys by my side, I cast my ballot for Jason on the first day of early
voting.
As a mom, it’s important to
me that my boys get a good education. And as a teacher, I’m concerned about the
size of our classes, teacher retention, and the ability of my students to
attend and afford college once they graduate.
This year I’ve traveled
throughout the state talking with parents and teachers
and they share the same concerns with me. You better believe that I’ve shared
these concerns with Jason over my six years of teaching and I know he’s heard them
over and over again while on the campaign trail.
The chance to make my voice heard in an election never gets
old, and voting for Jason for Governor was particularly gratifying. He is
courageous, incredibly smart and respected on both sides of the aisle down at
the state Capitol where he serves as a State Senator.
Jason has a vision of
Georgia at its very best—not competing for last in education and unemployment.
I hope you’ll make some
time to read about Jason’s
vision for a better future for our state. And I hope
you’ll visit the polls before they close on Election Day to make your voice
heard. It’s a great opportunity to teach your kids about democracy and the
power of the vote.
Thanks to Sojourner for
letting me guest post today! I’d love to hear your thoughts — keep in touch on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
Kate
