Tony Evers and Don Pridemore: What's to Like?


Plenty, in Tony Evers' case.

Tony has served the students, parents and citizens of Wisconsin for over 34 years as a
  • teacher
  • principal
  • superintendent
  • regional administrator
  • Deputy State Superintendent
  • State Superintendent 

On a national level, Tony has been a
  • Curriculum auditor in Texas, California, Indiana, Kansas and Ohio
  • Member of the Council of Chief State School Officers
  • Previously served as the national president of the Deputy State Superintendent Leadership Commission



Nothing, in Don Pridemore's case.
  • In making his announcement to run, he said Walker would have a friend in the State Superintendent's office if he's elected.
  • Answered no questions on education policy, including the hot topic of vouchers.
  • Summed up his philosophy as follows:  "I have a common sense, conservative approach.".  (Apparently, he's not an original thinker.)
