Jack Sturgill Receives Teachers' Endorsement
Friday, June 23, 2006
The endorsement of Jack Sturgill's candidacy for the House of Delegates was announced by The Maryland State Teachers Association. The official endorsement was made by The Maryland State Teachers Association (MSTA) by ratifying the recommendation of The Teachers Association of Baltimore County (TABCO) and Baltimore Assistants and Clerical Employees (BASE).
MSTA represents about 65,000 teachers and support staff, serving as the umbrella organization for the State of Maryland. TABCO represents over 6,000 Baltimore County public school teachers; and BACE represents over 800 clerical and support personnel in the Baltimore County public schools. Jack Sturgill's democratic House of Delegates bid is further enhanced by the addition of Pat Foerster, former head of the MSTA. Foerster is running for the democratic State Senate seat in the same 7th legislative district as Sturgill.
Sturgill said, "Having been a high school teacher, I am honored by this endorsement from the people in the school system who truly understand the trials, hard work and long hours it takes to provide our students with a solid, quality education."
