Kansas State Sen. Larry Powell, R- Garden City, Chairman of the Natural Resources committee has endorsed Meg Wilson for State Board of Education District 5.

Senator Powell stated: “Kansas’ greatest resource are the children.  We must allow them to succeed in their own strengths during their education process.  To have a one size fits all system for child from New York to Kansas to California is unfair to the minds of the children.  I have fought for more local control in our Kansas communities.  I am endorsing Meg Wilson for State Board of Education to have another strong western Kansas voice in Topeka.  Through her 31 years in education, she sees the value of having local school boards, teachers, and parents having a say in the education their child receives, not Washington D.C.”

Meg Wilson said, “I’m honored to have the support of Senator Powell.  We share the idea that nothing is more important than educating the next generation.  His vision to grow education through local control including the agriculture industry, which is western Kansas’ main economic driver is shows the foresight him and I share.”
