Burdick Understands the Need to Properly Fund Education in NYS

We are part of The Trust Project

I grew up in Mount Kisco and have lived in Bedford for 20 years. I love this community and I want to make sure it continues to offer the younger generation what it has afforded me and my family – a wonderful place to grow up and a great education. That is why I am the board chair for the Foundation for Bedford Central Schools. That is also why I am supporting Chris Burdick for New York State Assembly.

In Albany, Chris would address the root cause of many problems within the educational system: school funding. Many school districts lack needed resources because of the antiquated school funding formula used by the state. Chris will work to readjust this formula so that no school system falls behind. He is a parent of children who went through the public-school system, and, like you and me, he wants to help create more opportunities and a better future for all of our children.

While it will be difficult to see Chris leave Bedford, I know he will make a positive and powerful impact in Albany for even more adults and children than just those of Bedford. That is why on Nov. 3, I am voting Chris Burdick for state Assembly.
