At its October 15 meeting the DSEA Executive Board voted unanimously to recommend U.S. Senator Joe Biden for President. Citing his stellar voting record (consistantly over 90%) , his positions on education issues; his opposition to the core issues in the No Child Left Behind Act that we oppose, and his acessibility and responsiveness to DSEA and its members, the Board gave the nod to Delaware's Favorite Son.
As several board members repeated, "Joe has always been a friend to us. It's time we were a friend to him."
The Biden campaign issued a press release two days later, clearly happy with the endorsement. The Biden Campaign is making a realistic push to encourage voters to vote for the people they favor, not the people they think will win.
"We hope we can add to his credibility as a viable candidate who will act in the best interest of public education, our students and the people who make our public schools great," adds DSEA President Barbara Grogg.
