2024 DE Governor's race: on Education
Matt Meyer:
Would be first teacher to be governor in state's modern era
If elected, he would be the first teacher to be governor in the state's modern era. "Arguably, the most important thing the governor does is oversee our education system. You can find countless teachers who are regularly frustrated
by elected officials standing up and saying things about education that just has no applicability in their classroom," he said. "A lot of this is looking at what teachers are doing and supporting them, encouraging them, and compensating them," he said.

Mike Ramone:
Ensure teachers have the tools, resources, and classrooms
Despite having the fourth-highest per capita spending per student, Delaware ranks second to last in quality of education. For too long, Dover has thrown money at the problems without addressing the root causes. The father of three and grandfather of
four, Mike understands the importance of providing a quality education to Delaware children, regardless of location or income. Mike will fight to ensure teachers have the tools, resources, and classrooms necessary to provide a quality education.
