Thanks to the many many people who publicly endorsed my campaign in 2007!
“Marj Passman understands that without strong schools we can’t have a strong city. That’s why Marj Passman is my choice for Seat 5 for the School Board.”

Part of letter to the editor – Capital Times – March 27, 2007:
“I support, wholeheartedly and enthusiastically, Marj Passman for Seat 5. Marj understands the big picture of the role of the schools in our community and in our democratic society; she has a deep commitment to the success of every child we serve; she has been an advocate for those who are disenfranchised, many of whom she has invited into her home or visited theirs.”
Carol Carstensen, member, Madison School Board
“As a parent of a one year old daughter, deeply concerned about her future education, I am honored to endorse Marj Passman for School Board. Parents need her on the Board making decisions about their children¹s education!”
Carousel Bayrd, County Board Supervisor and M.A.T.C. Board member
When I think of Marj Passman, I think of Walter de la Mare’s caveat that, “Only the rarest kind of best in anything can be good enough for the young.”
Charnan Simon, mother of two of Marj’s former students.
“How can anyone so small be so energetic, and make middle school almost bearable!!!”
Hana and Ariel Kazunas, former students of Marj Passman
