Kaj Thompson Statement on MPA Endorsement

Recently a friend alerted me that I appeared as a candidate endorsed by a group called the Minnesota Parents Alliance (MPA).  I haven't asked for any endorsements nor do I plan to.  My three priorities for this district have remained consistent since I filed to run: focus on academics, the budget & enrollment, and school safety.  I don't want any endorsements to distract me from that focus, so today (9-28-23) I asked the MPA to rescind their endorsement.
