Is investing in early learning and development a bipartisan issue? Yes, according to a recent post by Eye on Early Education: Governors Across America Talk About Early Childhood Education.

The First Five Years Fund (FFYF) reports, “According to the Education Commission of the States, for the 2014-15 fiscal year, state funding for pre-K increased by $672 million to a total of $6.3 billion. This was the third year in a row that both Republican and Democratic policymakers made significant investments in state-funded pre-K programs.” This link to the FFYF has quotes from 22 Governors in a post: Nation’s Governors Prioritize Early Childhood Education — Key Quotes

Wisconsin’s Scott Walker was not one of the Governors who was quoted.
