Flamm has always supported education

As retired teachers in the Northwest suburbs, we're passionate about electing Matt Flamm as our state representative.

Matt has been a strong supporter of education and of educators in our community for decades. He rightly supports the concept that good public schools attract education-minded and active citizens to their communities. Great schools make great communities.

We have known Matt since the time of teaching his daughters. He has not wavered in his enthusiasm and support for education since the day we met him.

Matt Flamm is a moderate who listens to people of various political views. He can effectively represent the common interests of our area. Matt is a realist and a successful small business owner. He understands the mess we call Illinois finance and the need for education funding goals that can be accomplished without compromising the needs of public education employees.

As a state representative, we're confident that Matt will seek policies that promote a tax system that is fair, responsive to our current economy and supportive of our mutual public education goals.

If Illinois is to prepare students for 21st century jobs and the northwest suburbs are to attract first-class jobs, we strongly believe that Matt Flamm is the candidate we should send to Springfield.
