Milwaukee Community Journal Endorses Brittany Kinser in Race for DPI Superintendent
MADISON, Wisc. – On Thursday, the Milwaukee Community Journal, the largest African-American newspaper in Wisconsin, announced its endorsement of Brittany Kinser in the race for DPI Superintendent.
The paper, which has been serving the African-American community since 1976 went on to say, “Kinser is not a miracle worker and isn’t armed with Thor’s hammer. But her resume speaks to her being a valued change agent, and equally important, she has a history of focusing on the needs of the underserved. Her track record attests to her prioritizing the needs of the poor and minority students… Kinser has successfully worked with poor and minority children, primarily students who have been shortchanged by systems that consider them castoffs, incorrigible ($$$) statistics, or unable to master the basics of reading and writing. (They love to blame poverty for failure).”
In response to the endorsement, Brittany Kinser released the following statement: I am honored and humbled to receive the endorsement of the Milwaukee Community Journal, the largest African-American newspaper in our state. I am committed to working with leaders in Milwaukee – and across the state, to close the achievement gap and ensure every child can read, write, and do math well.”
