He wants to be an advocate for students and parents… Mr. Levine also stresses his desire to serve as a consensus-builder.. We strongly recommend him to the voters.”

As a graduate of Ward 4 and 3 public schools he knows our communities well, and he is prepared to work full-time to improve educational outcomes for all students. I strongly recommend Martin to parents and other citizens. He will be a highly effective member of the Board of Education in bringing about much-needed change."

“I enthusiastically endorse Martin Levine for election to the DC Board of Education. I have known Martin since we worked together at the Congressional Budget Office 30 years ago. He combines intelligence and sound judgment with integrity and a life-long commitment to Washington and its schools. Martin’s combination of teaching, public policy expertise, and management experience will make him a strong force on the Board of Education. He will work with others to make change happen.”
