President Obama has employed his record on <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/programs\/racetothetop\/index.html\">Race to the Top<\/a> and efforts to reform underperforming schools as initiatives deserving of voter support, while Governor Romney has mentioned his desire to expand various school choice options as a key platform goal.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the Presidential discussion of education, state and local political races and ballot initiatives concerning educational issues consume less of the headlines, yet in reality are much more likely to impact education in United States in a significant way. For example, 44 out of 50 states are holding legislative races this year.\u00a0 Republicans look to hold onto the majority of those positions, meaning that increased levels of school choice and continued decreases to the ability of teachers\u2019 unions to employ collective bargaining may be in store. Furthermore, many state ballots contain ballot initiatives related directly to issues of funding and education.<\/p>\n<p>For further details, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/index.html\">Education Week<\/a> has created a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/collections\/election2012\/candidates-on-education.html\">breakdown<\/a> of candidates\u2019 views on education as well as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/collections\/election2012\/voters-guide.html\">voter\u2019s guide<\/a> for the educationally conscious voter.
