ENDORSEMENTS
Tom Bates believes that a quality public education is the most important legacy that we can give our children. He is dedicated to this concept and seeks to ensure it becomes a reality as he serves as the House Representative for District 80. Tom is a former educator, retired healthcare field professional, husband, father, grandfather, and strong supporter of public schools. He also understands the challenges that so many face with health care today. Tom strives for what is right, not what is politically expedient. He is an honorable man who is ready to make a difference. I have known Tom for 16 years and consider him the best choice to actually carry through and improve conditions for our children and grandchildren.
