Statement from the candidate:
Mindy is the ranking member of the House Education Finance Committee where she leads the fight for a quality education for our children and students. Education funding was cut last year for the first time in state history. Because of her record of leadership on this issue, Mindy believes her voice is needed more than ever in supporting the development of our state's greatest natural resource - our children. Our state's fine education system is what draws employers to our state and keeps them here. Mindy is also a leader working for better health care, a cleaner environment, a multi-modal transportation system and removing the influence of special interest monies from governmental decisions.
