OSPI Candidates for 2008

According to the Public Disclosure Commission website, there are four candidates for the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the 2008 election. Below is a table with the candidate names and contact information. Note that Judith Billings, former SPI and several-time opponent of Terry Bergeson, is in the race. Richard Semler declared his candidacy upon his retirement announcement from the Richland School District. Donald Hansler was the fellow who wrote Initiative Measure No. 934 in 2006, which would have required every candidate for state elective office to pass the tenth grade Washington assessment of student learning (WASL) test.

This will be an interesting race to watch!
