Andrew Duck is one of five Democrats running for the Democratic Party nomination. The Maryland primary is February 12, 2008.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


ANDREW DUCK ENDORSED BY TEACHERS

WOODSBORO, MD, January 23 -- Andrew Duck has been endorsed by the NEA Fund, the political action committee for the National Education Association.

Duck's campaign against Republican incumbent Roscoe Bartlett and four primary opponents was recommended for endorsement to the national organization by the Maryland State Teachers Association. In a letter to Duck, both the national and state groups said they "applaud your commitment to public education and children."

Duck said: "I am proud of my public education, and will work hard in Congress to make America's public schools once again the best in the world. Great public education has always been the ladder up in America. I appreciate this endorsement and look forward to the teachers' help throughout the campaign as we work together to defeat Roscoe Bartlett and return the 6th District to its citizens."
