Greetings,

Thanks to all who came to the gubernatorial candidates’ forum on Tuesday! You helped make it a great event.

Let's build on the momentum! There are three weeks to go until the election.

Please email candidates for governor about a child or family issue that matters most to you. Make your voice heard!

As you will see from some of the news coverage of the event and the recent buzz over candidates' views on preschool, the What About the Kids? campaign is working.

Children's issues are getting more attention!

Now is a great time to email candidates for governor about preschool, child welfare, family poverty or some other children's issue you care about.

And check out a selection of children's letters to candidates that we have received from students.

There's still time to sign on as a partner, submit children's letters to candidates, and use the election as a teaching tool in classrooms! Go here to find out how.

Thanks for helping to raise the profile of children in this election.
