I cast my vote for Troy Gunderson when I slid my ballot into the secured box at Sparta City Hall this week

Gunderson, one of multiple candidates for State Superintendent of Instruction, views public school education as a common good.   He sees the office as an opportunity and a responsibility to focus on the needs of small school districts in rural Wisconsin and has both the personal and professional experience to do so. Gunderson, who vigorously opposed passage of Act 10, has the energy and the character to work amicably with Wisconsin legislators to provide appropriate internet connections for schools and families.

Whether voting early or at the polls, cast your vote for Troy Gunderson for State School Superintendent.
