— A kindness a day

I’m endorsing Ellen because of her unwavering passion for education and children. She’s a true go-getter, someone who consistently gets things done, and that’s exactly the kind of leadership we need in education. Ellen is dedicated, driven, and fully committed to making a difference. That’s why I proudly support her. — Jody Hovde
Montrose County School Board Member

Ellen Angeles has the qualities that a State School Board member needs to lead and collaborate with other state policy makers and stakeholders to achieve Colorado’s vision for education. As a teacher with 20 years of experience, she understands the learning standards and assessments of the Colorado Department of Education. And her additional background in banking, finance, and sales will help her create policies that serve the best interests of students and the public.
    She helped the Montrose community build the Montrose Recreation Center and  Columbine Middle School. And she was partially responsible for making sure our Montrose Regional Library could be funded to stay open for 7 days a week.
   She believes that every student in Colorado’s schools deserves an engaging, inspiring, and caring  learning experience. She provided that to her students when I taught with her at Olathe Elementary. That is why I’m voting for Ellen Angeles!

I enthusiastically endorse Ellen Angeles to be elected as state board of education Director for congressional district 3.

She is a dedicated public servant who will show up on day one and get the job done.

— Michael J. Lavey
Former City Councilman and Mayor of Cortez

We don't need more extremism and culture wars in CD3—we've seen how that turns out, especially here in Mesa County, and our classrooms are the last place we want to see that kind of performative politicking take hold. What we really need right now are common sense people who are willing to dig in and do the hard work of improving our great state's educational system, which is why I support Ellen Angeles for the State Board of Education.
