I personally endorse Dr. Michael Bratland, as I know him as a friend and as a fellow Christian. He is a man of integrity, grit, compassion, and honesty. He will work tirelessly to protect our children’s safety, innocence, and to promote READING, WRITING, and ARITHMETIC as the foundational pieces of a sound education. He will fight to ensure that children are taught HOW to think and not WHAT to think.

Dr. Bratland is one of the millions of parents and allies standing together speaking as one demanding that our current school system needs to stop messing with our kids.

As Michael’s wife of 27 years, I’ve seen how dedicated he is to instilling strong principles and educational excellence to nurture our five children toward becoming positive members of our community.

Dr. Bratland brings the fresh, down-to-earth perspective and competence that our 4J schools need to achieve authentic educational reform and academic excellence.
