To the editor:

We heartily endorse Ann Zimmerman, candidate for Kansas State Board of Education, District 7. District 7 includes more than 17 counties in central Kansas.

A vote for Ann is a vote to protect local schools.

A native Kansan, Ann has served on her local school board for 10 years and has the training, experience and demeanor to make thoughtful decisions.

Ann Zimmerman is passionate in her support for effective teaching and providing quality education for all Kansas students, regardless of where they live.

If you care about your local schools, vote for Ann Zimmerman November 3.

William and Ruth Cathcart-Rake
