LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Clark County School District Board of Trustees President Lola Brooks is endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders’ candidacy for president of the United States, according to the Sanders campaign.
In a statement emailed to the media, Brooks said:
“I support Senator Bernie Sanders for President because of his commitment to reinvest in public education,” CCSD Board of Trustees President Lola Brooks said.
“In addition, his focus on providing a broader social safety net through programs such as Medicare for All would allow schools to focus on dedicating their limited resources to educating students versus providing for their basic needs.
In May 2019, Sanders unveiled his Thurgood Marshall Plan for Public Education, which promises to reinvest in our nation's schools and modernize our education system.
His campaign also recently announced that Sanders will have national surrogates Jason Mraz and The Mowgli’s at First Friday on Jan. 3.
The campaign's co-chair, Sen. Nina Turner, will speak at the event on behalf of the Bernie 2020 campaign.
Mraz will perform a set at 8 p.m. and The Mowgli’s will perform at 9 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m., the event begins at 6 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public.
