Education Author and WTMJ Talk Show Host Charlie Sykes on Rose Fernandez Wednesday, February 11, 2009:


"I think there is actually a really good candidate in this race: Rose Fernandez."

"Here is somebody who not only has been an involved parent; she's actually taken on the bureaucracy. Rose Fernandez is exactly the kind of person we need. She doesn't represent the teachers' union; she's willing to take on the teachers' union. She's not part of the establishment; she's willing to challenge the establishment. She is not an educational bureaucrat. She thinks that the system should work for students, what a radical concept. Rose Fernandez is the only one in this race who thinks the schools ought to be about the kids. Not about the unions, not about bureaucracy…"

He later called Rose Fernandez "probably one of the most interesting candidates to emerge in a statewide race in a very, very, very long time."

His comments begin about two thirds of the way through this podcast:
