We've nearly reached the end of the long road toward Election Day. Many of you have already cast your votes. Thank you for your support! To all of those who will join me at the polls on Tuesday: please help me to support the mission of Rome City Schools--that every graduate of Rome High will be prepared for college or work--by voting for the only candidate with first-hand experience in higher education. The board needs the balanced perspective that I can offer. Vote for Eric McDowell on Tuesday!

Please enjoy a song that I wrote and recorded several years ago about the state of education since "No Child Left Behind." Understand that the views expressed are about national challenges, and are not limited to our local systems. Nonetheless, the problems expressed in the song exist here as well. Please share...

A biting satire about the state of public education in the United States since No Child Left Behind.

Thanks to Ruth Demeter and Wendy Davis for inviting me to the Georgia Giants dinner this evening. I'm pictured here with my awesome friend and campaign manager Alice Stevens. Please reply with your thoughts on the shirts...

Guess who appeared as the third candidate on Rome's November ballot to participate in the Putnam County Spelling Bee with Rome Little Theatre? Though Wendy and Monica beat me to the stage, I believe I'm the only speller to be introduced as "having gone prematurely gray in the fourth grade and hence known as mini Anderson Cooper." Fun times!

Dear friends: I've raised nearly $200 so far (yay!) but I've spent nearly $2000 (scary!). If you believe that my 28 years of teaching experience will help to promote the mission of Rome City Schools, please consider donating to the campaign of the only BOE candidate with personal knowledge of what it means to prepare students for college.
