Dear friend:

Traci Young CooperOn Tuesday, June 8, we have the opportunity to vote for a leader we can trust. Jim Rex is running for Governor, and he deserves our support.

As a professional educator, I am excited about the possibility of electing a real educator to the Governor’s Office. For too long, the career politicians have told us that education was their top priority, but actions speak louder than words. The insiders at the State House have not put our kids, our teachers, and our schools first, and it’s time we had a leader who did.

Jim Rex is not a career politician. He’s a former high school English teacher, football coach, and college president.  As State Superintendent of Education, he has led our schools to the best improvement in the nation in on-time graduation, some of the fastest improving SAT scores in the country, and has made us a national leader in providing new and exciting options for our students and their families. Simply put, we need him as our next Governor.

Today, I am writing to ask you to do one or more of the following:

Our children need Jim Rex.  And Jim Rex needs you.  Please do your part today to help secure a bright future for our schools, our families, and our state.

Sincerely,
Traci Young-Cooper
Traci Young Cooper
Former State Teacher of the Year

South Carolina Superintendent of Education Jim Rex praised the restructuring efforts of Spartanburg School District 7 during a visit to Carver Junior High School on Tuesday.

He said it was imperative for educators to stand up to elected officials who trumpet legislative and budget actions that increase class size or reduce the number of teachers.

Administrators touted their restructuring plan, which the District 7 board is expected to take action on tonight.

The fifty-cent cigarette tax increase is woefully inadequate; it should be raised to the national average. But, this is an important first step toward reaching that goal, and I urge the General Assembly to override his veto. When I become Governor, I will continue to fight to raise the cigarette tax to the national average to create jobs, improve our health, and deal with the state’s fiscal crisis.”
