The Best Reason to Vote

Your vote impacts the education our children receive. It impacts their future.


Many of us moved to Blue Valley for the schools. Our award-winning district is the foundation of a thriving community, strong property values, and a vibrant local economy. Overland Park is consistently ranked as one of America's top cities for raising a family.


Yet some BV-area legislators regularly vote to undercut our schools. They vote against education funding, against fully-funding special education, and against local control. They vote for irresponsible, Brownback-style tax cuts that would harm the education our kids receive. They vote for voucher schemes that funnel money away from public education. They even try to make it harder for you to vote.


Stand Up Blue Valley has fought back against such attacks on our neighborhood public schools since 2015. We are 100% volunteer-driven by parents and community members. We have nothing to gain for our work, except protecting the schools we moved here for, and the community we value.


Balance that against ALL the dark-money entities that have everything to gain by dismantling our excellent school district to privatize public education FOR PROFIT and for lower taxes for THEIR billionaire backers. These entities include Americans For Prosperity and The Liberty First Project. Who backs these entities that are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars campaigning for certain BV-area candidates? Nobody knows - because such entities are structured in a way that their donors are kept secret.


Remember this before you vote.


Stand with us to elect candidates who will truly support our kids and their neighborhood public schools. See our endorsements here: www.standupbluevalley.org
