<\/a>From Eric Dondero:<\/p>

Libertarian Party candidates for office are often accused of being out-of-the-mainstream, and not \"real world.\" <\/p>

Meet Kira Willis. She is a mother of two. She has been a teacher for 17 years. <\/p>

From her campaign website<\/a>:<\/p>

I see parents and teachers, schools and communities blaming each other for our schools' failures when the politicians and the policy makers are to blame. I see career politicians who have never been in the classroom telling those of us who live our educational system every day what is right for our kids. As a product of public school, a teacher in public school, and a parent whose children will attend public school, I want to make a difference. <\/p><\/blockquote>

She was recently featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, \"Libertarian Kira Willis says too much administrative bloat.\" They asked her 4 questions. On Parental Choice from AJC<\/a>:<\/p>

[What] I do support are tax credits for families that wish to home school or send their children to private school.<\/p>

I also support school choice. Vouchers mean another department within the DOE created to decide who receives a choice and who does not. A simple tax credit eliminates the need for a voucher department. School choice allows a free market in education and creates competition between schools.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Note - the Libertarian Party of Georgia has long been considered one of the most successful in the Nation (along with Indiana and North Carolina.) For example, Karen Johnson, an African-American woman, is an elected Libertarian currently serving on the John's Creek City Council (Fulton County, pop. 59,000).<\/p>

Disclaimer - although we are first and foremost a Republican site, on occasion, we will highlight \"Republican-type\" or more conservative-leaning Libertarian Party candidates for office.<\/em><\/p>
