Our members also agree that Happy Haynes is the right candidate for the at-large seat. In our candidate interviews, she stood out because of her commitment to closing the achievement gap and ensuring that every Denver child – regardless of background – has access to a great school. In addition, Happy's leadership experience as a former city councilmember and staffer for two mayors is unmatched. It's clear that Happy Haynes can move DPS in the right direction. Mayor Hancock has found the best candidate for the at-large seat, and we thank him for his endorsement yesterday."

Our members also agree that these candidates are right for the job. They’re committed to the policies that will better our schools: more support for great teachers and principals, more district accountability and transparency, and better school choices. Simply put, Anne, Jennifer, and Happy will keep Denver moving forward with continued bold reforms that will help all children reach their highest potential. Endorsements like these are great for the candidates’ campaigns, but we still need to tell more people what’s at stake in the Nov. 1 election. We hope to see you on the streets or on the phones at one of our upcoming canvasses or phone banks. And don’t forget to vote!
