Congressman Zinke Endorses Hedalen for Montana Office of Public Instruction

Today, Congressman Zinke announced his endorsement for Susie Hedalen as Montana’s next Superintendent at the Office of Public Instruction.

“Susie Hedalen will make a fantastic leader at the Office of Public Instruction,” Zinke said. “Her background, education, experiences, and demonstrated commitment to empowering parents to take active roles in their children’s education make her a great candidate who can hit the ground running in keeping Montana’s kids ahead of the curve and with a competitive edge.”

Experience:

• Susie Hedalen has previously served as Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction before being appointed to the Board of Public Education by Governor Greg Gianforte.

• Susie Hedalen has worked all across the state in Class AA to Class C schools.

• Susie Hedalen has received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Montana State University, and in addition to extensive work with the tribes, she has a certificate in Native American Studies.

Susie lives in Townsend with her husband, Derrick, where she serves as Superintendent of Townsend School District.

Susie has been on the frontlines of education in Montana for over a decade. She knows what we need to do to protect our children and make sure they are getting a quality education, and that means getting education back to basics.

There is no candidate in this race who is more qualified to be the next Superintendent of Public Instruction than Susie. With so much at stake in this election, we must ensure that she is Montana’s next Superintendent of Public Instruction.
