2010 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS –
SUCCESSFUL GAE RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES*

The recent Primary Elections were of critical importance to Georgia and public education stakeholders. Georgia’s public education system is unable to provide our children with the “adequate public education” that is promised in the Georgia Constitution due to the lack of state funding. GAE recently provided its members with a list of candidates that had been recommended by its Fund for Public Education Committee (FPE, the committee which considers and approves local Senate and House recommendations and interviews statewide candidates and makes recommendations to the GAE Board of Directors on which statewide candidates the Association will support). This committee is comprised of GAE members from across the state who represent the interests of their fellow members.
