Who will think of the children? (The Next Mayor)

Answer: we will!

We get letters. This one comes from Melissa Weiler Gerber, Executive Director of WOMEN'S WAY. She says it best so I'll just share her words with everyone:

As a member of the Mayor's Children's Commission, and as the Executive Director of an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of women, girls and families in our region, I urge you to add children to your priority list for our next mayor. Investing in the hope, education, health and future of our children is surely the best tactic for countering crime, ensuring a quality work force and facilitating steady growth in our community. It would send a powerful message to candidates and citizens, and to those watching from other cities around the country, that we are taking a proactive approach to our city's issues by prioritizing our most precious commodity - our kids.

With thanks for your consideration and for all the great work you are doing.

Trust me, we're doing all we can to make sure that people know about forums that are based on education or children's issues and we just added a new page comparing all of the candidates on their positions regarding education.

We'll do our best to share video of this coming Friday's forum at the National Constitution Center so stay tuned!
