AEA Republican Members Can Change the State

Last week the Governor singed HB2227, a bill that re-enforced the policy changes made during last summer's special session budget bills. The bill either explicitly or effectively removes all of our contract protections and due process rights. The bill's sponsor was Laurin Hendrix form LD22 (Gilbert, Higley and SE Mesa). Imagine if Hendrix was not the Representative.


Imagine if LD22 had a Republican Representative that not only understood, but also supported public education and the professionals that make it work. Imagine if LD22 was represented by a public school teacher.


It is not just a dream, it is a real possibility. Dr. Paul Howell could be the Representative from LD22. Dr. Howell is an educator of 16 years currently teaching English at Mesa HS and a member of Mesa EA. He was elected to the Higley School Board in 2008. Dr. Howell will be part of the change our State and our Party desperately needs.


However this change will not happen without our help. Please send Dr. Howell a message of support through his website or via facebook. If you live in LD22, please consider making a $5 clean elections contribution.
