Burton Brown to vie for State Board of Education seat

Kristi Burton Brown, who previously served as chairwoman of the Colorado Republican Party, has announced her intent to seek the Colorado State Board of Education seat in Congressional District 4.

“Our education system needs more opportunity, better accountability, and greater empowerment for parents,” Burton

Brown said. “The Board of Education needs members who are committed to expanding school choice, ready to insist on high academic standards, and willing to prioritize parents’ voices.”

Burton Brown served from 2000-2002 as Colorado Republican Party chairwoman, successfully honoring a pledge to visit every county in Colorado during her term. She followed U.S. Rep. Ken Buck in the role as party chair.

Burton Brown is the executive vice president at Advance Colorado and, as a practicing attorney, is admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court where she has submitted briefs on the right to life, religious freedom, and women’s right to play sports without men taking their place. She is a former substitute teacher in rural public schools, an advocate for charter schools, a board member of a private school, and a homeschool mother of two.

“I’m a conservative constitutional attorney with a diverse background in education, and I’m ready to fight for my fellow conservatives and parents on this Board,” Burton Brown said. “No more backing down to a liberal agenda; instead, we’ll work to transform and reform education in Colorado so that all children have the equal opportunity to learn real academics and succeed in life.” More detail on Burton Brown and the key issues in her campaign can be found at www. kbbforcolorado.com.
