An Advocate for Children

I am excited and optimistic that Chris Passante is running for the Clinton Board of Education. I have known Chris for more than 20 years. He leads with his heart and he has never wavered in his dedication to community and family.

Having been in education myself for 25 years, I know firsthand what it takes to be an advocate for children and our schools. Chris Passante is dedicated, driven, and passionate about the health, safety, and wellbeing of the children of Clinton. He is an extremely active and engaged father in our community, having coached many sports across various age groups. He has children in all three of our schools and was raised in Clinton himself.

Chris’s mother was a teacher at Eliot for 30-plus years. He understands what is necessary for the wellbeing of our teachers and school staff members as well. Chris wants a safe environment for our children and will work toward the highest level of supports for our schools. Chris is fair and will take a bipartisan approach to listening and learning about concerns and issues brought before the Board of Education members.

I have complete confidence that Chris Passante is the best choice for the Clinton Board of Education this Nov. 5.
