Why are KEA members involved in the political process?
KEA members are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Regardless of their political affiliation, KEA ‘s members are involved in the political process because they care about educating and protecting children and strengthening American public education. The issues that unite us are the protection of children and the improvement of public education. These issues drive our involvement in the political process. They are the ruler by which we measure all political hopefuls and lobby our elected leaders. Because all education decisions–from the state house to the White House–are political decisions, we need to ensure that our elected leaders measure up on important issues of children and public education. KEA members are involved in the political process for many reasons.
