To the Editor,

I am writing in response to a letter written that lauds Rep. Wardlow’s support of public education.

Rep. Wardlow’s voting record indicates otherwise. If the letter writer would look at Rep. Wardlow’s voting record over the past two legislative sessions, they would find he has consistently voted for legislation that negatively impacts ISD 196. What his voting record shows is a consistent failure to vote for legislation that would aid ISD 196 and all Minnesota school districts. 

I believe a legislator’s voting record indicates where there priorities are and what they support.  It is obvious that Rep. Wardlow’s priorities are not public education and he does not support public education.
