Campaign themes
2014
On his Facebook page, Lavender said he would, "support education and educators and look forward to helping to craft solutions for better outcomes for our K-12 students, rather than undermining public schools and villainizing public educators as our current legislature has done. Our community colleges are an integral part of our workforce training and economic development; we must build and refine these programs if our state and economy are to be successful. Tearing them down is not an option. Likewise, our university system is them envy of many across the nation. We cannot let destroy it as things are refined."[1]
