When Marsha Swails first ran for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2006, she promised to focus like a laser beam on education. Our schools had been devastated by budget cuts enacted in 2003; District 833 was suffering from a $1 million cut supported by Woodbury's previous legislator.
Marsha, an award-winning teacher at Woodbury High School, kept her promise. During her two years in office she voted to restore $1 million to District 833. She voted for an additional $51 in per pupil aid statewide and led the effort to make voluntary all-day kindergarten available.
Woodbury is teeming with young families who are counting on providing their children with a quality education.
Rep. Marsha Swails understands this and will continue to support sound, smart investments in our education system.
Thank you, Rep. Swails! You can count on my vote on Nov. 4!
