Another Kentucky Derby is in the books, and while your trifecta might have earned you some green at the betting window, for two deserving DFERs there’s no option but a “win.”

Click here to contribute $25 or more to our May Reformers of the Month – state Rep. Alisha Morgan (GA-39), running for Superintendent of Georgia, and Marshall Tuck, CEO of Partnership for LA Schools, campaigning for CA State Superintendent.

The first African-American woman to represent her district, Alisha has spent six terms in the GA House fighting for kids. She’s sponsored bills supporting college and career-ready standards, public charter schools, and increased accountability.

Alisha is leading the pack ahead of the primary for GA superintendent on May 20th. But her main opponent, anti-reformer Valarie Wilson, is a serious threat. Polls show Alisha up by just a couple of points, and we need your support to keep that lead.

Donate $25 or more to help Alisha make great schools a reality for all kids in Georgia.

Marshall Tuck also faces an uphill battle in CA’s June 3rd primary for superintendent. Formerly of Green Dot, he’s the only candidate with a record of increasing grad rates, improving achievement, and turning around failing schools.

His major opponent, Tom Torlakson, has already received more than $3.2 million from teachers’ union coffers. But you can help improve Marshall’s chances by clicking here to donate now.

The “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” is over in a blink, but the race is just heating up for these two DFERs. Click here to make a donation now!
