Founders of The Collective PAC, Quentin James and Stefanie Brown James, released the following statement:
“The Collective PAC is proud to endorse Hon. Alisha Thomas Searcy for Georgia State School Superintendent. During her tenure as the State Representative for Cobb County, Hon. Thomas Searcy authored the state’s intra-district transfer law, allowing parents to select the best public school for their children regardless of zip code; and co-authored the state’s constitutional amendment that created the State Charter School Commission. Even after 20 years of experience in education, Hon. Thomas Searcy’s dedication and desire to provide every student with an equitable and accessible education has not wavered. We look forward to seeing Hon. Alisha Thomas Searcy continue her legacy of enacting change this November.”
