The Difference is Clear Day 7: Our Kids
Mitch Bolinsky voted no on an early childhood endowment and new special education grants.
Michelle Embree Ku successfully advocated for a special education fund.
Strong schools are one of the best investments we can make—starting before kindergarten and supporting every child who needs extra help.
And that’s the difference.
Vote October 19 through November 1 and November 3.

We see the effect of climate change every day—in more extreme weather, rising energy costs, and growing uncertainty about the future. Addressing these challenges requires practical, forward-thinking solutions that both protect our environment and strengthen our infrastructure. That means investing in clean, renewable energy sources like solar, which can lower costs for families, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and create good-paying local jobs. It also means modernizing our energy grid, supporting energy efficiency, and encouraging responsible development that preserves our natural resources. By taking a balanced, commonsense approach, we can build a more sustainable future while keeping our communities affordable, resilient, and economically strong.
