Bipartisan Education Leaders Endorse Catharine Baker
Democrats, Independents, Republicans come together for Baker
(San Ramon, CA) – Bipartisan education leaders throughout
the entire community have
 endorsed Catharine
Baker for re-election to the State Assembly.

“Catharine has been an active parent in local schools for
years,” said Mark Miller,
Pleasanton School District Board Member. “Catharine is an
education leader. She has
been fighting to stop child abuse in schools, fighting to
make California universities
more accessible for California students, and fighting for
reasonable tenure reform and
ongoing teacher development. We need Catharine in the
Legislature.”

Catharine Baker
“Catharine is bipartisan. 
She puts the education of our children first over party
ideology or special interests," said Denise Jennison,
San Ramon Valley Unified School
District Board Member. “Catharine is leading the way for
better schools, and is doing
the right thing for our children.”
“I’m a lifelong Democrat, and I support Catharine Baker
because she’s bipartisan and independent from the special interests that have too much

Senate Gloria Romero.

fighting child abuse in schools and in reforming teacher tenure is just what we  need.”
