In a battleground state, public education advocates encourage voting, sound alarm on Project 2025

Thirty-one days to go.

Early Saturday morning, public school advocates had already done their math homework. They knew they had just one month left to talk about the important choice before voters on Election Day.

Rep. Julie von Haefen, a past president of Wake County’s PTA and a former board member for North Carolina PTA, said it was appropriate on World Teachers’ Day to celebrate educators as the true heroes of a community.

Rep. von Haefen said it was also critical that voters support candidates who would be fierce fighters for public education. Von Haefen credits Vice President Kamala Harris with casting the deciding vote to deliver the single largest investment in public education and American history.

“And Vice President Harris didn’t stop there. Alongside President Biden, she provided $170 billion with a B in student loan debt relief to millions of borrowers, made record investments and HBCUs including right here in North Carolina, and increased the maximum Pell Grant award so that more kids can realize their dream of going to college,” said the Wake County Democrat.
