Campaign themes

Pierce County voters' pamphlet

Wyatt stated the following about his campaign in the Pierce County voters' pamphlet:

“	Thank You Dr. R.A Vernon who stated so eloquently “The occupation of teachers deserve the respect and admiration of all citizens. Teachers are the ones who get cursed out, they get dogged, and dissed by kids who do not wish to learn, whose parents are not preparing them to learn but yet they have to come in every day and make myopic money and do meaningful ministry.” Our nation has become so data focus and number driven that we have forgotten behind every number and behind every statistics are real people with real issues and concerns. Children are just not numbers. They are someone’s child, someone’s son / daughter. Public Education is America greatest asset and my desire is to preserve and protect those assets with integrity & respect. My top five objectives would be what our country expects from public schools: Guarantee equal opportunities for all children; Unify a diverse population; Prepare students for citizenship in a democratic society; Prepare students to become economically self-suffi cient; Improve social conditions. I will accomplish these objectives by: Increasing the pay of our teachers; Increasing funding for the career and technical program in the middle schools	”
