In their own words: Wisconsin school superintendent candidates make their cases to voters

The spring elections are right around the corner. The primary election on Feb. 21 will take the number of candidates in any given race down to two, and the voters will choose the winner April 4.

This election features races for state superintendent of public instruction, some court seats, Madison City Council and Madison School Board. There are primaries for the state superintendent of public instruction post as well as for two Madison School Board seats.

The Capital Times invited candidates with primaries to write columns making their cases to voters.

Today we are running the columns by candidates for state superintendent of public instruction. Next Tuesday and Wednesday we will run columns by Madison School Board candidates.
