Endorsement from State Representative Patricia Bellock

I so enjoyed the speakers and dinner last night at The Heartland Institute's 21st Anniversary Benefit Dinner. Thank you for including me. My legislative aide and I attended and were completely delighted by the table conversation, as well as the wonderful speakers.

I appreciated Dr. Hoxby's well-articulated arguments in favor of charter schools, and I was very impressed with Dr. Lehr's entertaining but important talk. He gave us so much to think about--and so many arguments to share!

My evening with all the members of The Heartland Institute reminded me, and made me appreciate, why I am a conservative Republican. Thank you for a very pleasant evening.
