Thank you to @momsontheground.ca for endorsing me for California's next Superintendent of Public Instruction!  Parents are their kid's best advocates! Together we can take back our schools and give our kids the education they deserve! 

 "As a father, Lance knows firsthand the importance of quality education for our children.  This inspired him to run for California Superintendent of Public Instruction.  Lance is fully aware of his Constitutional duties as California’s top education official, including the parents in the decision-making process as it relates to their children’s education.  As our state’s education is failing our children, Lance is the leader that California needs to restore efficiency and excellence to education in California.

Patriots for Freedom PAC   wholeheartedly endorses Lance Christensen for California Superintendent for Public Instruction. "

"I am pleased to inform you that California Family Alliance is endorsing you in your 2022 primary contest for Superintendent of Public Instruction!" Jonathan Keller, President of California Family  Alliance 

"Lance supports educational choice and believes funding should follow the student. Education works best when parents can choose the right option for their children. The charter schools many parents utilize to educate their children in their homes have been forced to restrict enrollment and been subjected to more and more unreasonable requirements under the incumbent's leadership. Lance's support means more options in education -- not less."

 "I am a parent and a teacher. I am supporting Lance because I understand how extremely important it is to have a parent advocate at the highest level in our school system. I believe that Lance will foster a positive environment for all families to grow and work towards becoming happy and successful."  

"We are looking to Lance to help change the public education system to restore parent choice, renewing enthusiasm for learning and resetting the bar for educational standards in California. There should be a choice for every parent and student that helps them to become their best self."

"Our public education system is broken. Career politicians, especially those currently in power, are the antithesis of what California needs. Lance brings clear, simple, common sense solutions to what plagues our system. We need a parent like him in this role to make sure the kids truly come first."

"He understands the battleground and will be there for the kids, the parents, and the teachers who want their students to success."  

"Lance is just what every Mama Bear in California has been waiting for...a superintendent of education that will extract the political crud that is take the place of solid academics in our public schools.  Our public schools are currently 41st in the nation and this must change NOW! Every Mama Bear in our state must rally to get this man into office so that our children can thrive again."   

 "Lance has proven himself to skillfully take action in favor of students and parents during Covid school closures. He’s an asset and will disrupt the system!" 

"Lance Christensen is the best choice for CA Superintendent of Public Instruction. I trust him to get the job done in Sacramento because of his experience working in the California Legislature and California Policy Center. It is time to put Families Over Institutions in California. I fully endorse Lance and encourage everyone to support him."

"I have served in various capacities in student leadership, I have been a student in the public forum here in California. I have listened and read over what Lance has to offer, and I see no better person to solve the scattered issues our state faces with educating our youth!"

I endorse Lance because "he is endorsed by the California Republican party."

"A vote for Lance is a vote for your children."

"Lance cares about the children and their education. He's a wonderful father. He is intelligent and a very hard worker. He has ethics. He isn't beholden to anyone. A very moral man."

"Remedying the learning loss created by the COVID-19 policies should be the top priority of our education system."

"The last two years speaks volumes as to why new leadership is needed. This is a parent’s year. This is our chance to change leadership, and the trajectory of public education.

As a Mom to 5, with 3 kids in California's failing school system, I proudly endorse Lance Christensen for State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) to bring the parents' voice to the top."

"Because of his stand on getting back to what curriculum for elementary students should be. "

I support Lance because of his "Fight for Kids First platform." 

"Lance's extensive experience in government work and skillful campaigns in the non-profit world give him the knowledge and wisdom to do what is right for the children of California. There is no finer candidate running who can bring an end to the corrupt and incompetent regime of Tony Thurmond. " 

"Parents need to know that they have options. There are many ways to educate children, with more and more programs moving away from the same ol' shut up and sit down approach. I am confident that Lance can help bring education to the next level, allowing for innovative and powerful learning opportunities for today's kids."

"Lance Christensen is the strongest candidate I have seen for Superintendent of Public Instruction in the four election cycles I have participated in since leading the Locke teachers' revolt in 2007, and I endorse his candidacy because I want my grandchildren to be able to consider California's state schools as a respectable option available to their parents, should they choose to move or stay here."
