Educators support Cyrus Dashtaki for Missouri House District 113
The Missouri National Education Association supports Cyrus Dashtaki in his bid for election to the Missouri House of Representatives. Dashtaki is running in the 113th district.
“Missouri NEA believes that a great public school is a basic right for every child,” says Chris Guinther, MNEA president. “Our organization is pleased to recommend Cyrus Dashtaki, who understands the responsibility that legislators have to make our public schools great.”
“Our recommendation process is rigorous, and Cyrus clearly measures up on the issues that are important to Missouri’s children, their future and our state’s public education system. He deserves the support of every voter who believes the future of our state depends on the quality of our schools.”
The MNEA Political Action Committee evaluates candidates for office on the basis of their support for four issues: 1) preserving and strengthening public education, including increasing funding for schools; 2) ensuring children’s health and safety; 3) maximizing student learning, including smaller class sizes and early childhood education; and 4) respecting school employees, including improved salaries and professional development funding. The voting records of incumbents, questionnaires completed by candidates and lengthy interviews with candidates are all considered as MNEA decides who will receive its support.
The 35,000-member MNEA represents teachers, education support professionals, retired teachers and students studying to be teachers in school districts and on college campuses throughout the state. It is the Missouri affiliate of the 3.2 million-member National Education Association.
