politicians elected to represent them. When people are unhappy they can and do make their voices heard. There is nothing wrong with this. However, we seem less likely to speak up when we are pleased with political leadership and support.

Nevertheless, those politicians who support us need to know the voters are paying attention. The Madison School District will be providing an opportunity for all stakeholders in our district to recognize the efforts of local politicians who have supported education in our state.
