**NHurlbut Democrate **

I chose this bill because education is very important. Education can help you achieve you goal in life and to be successful. We wrote this bill because people need to help others and make education fair. People should choose this bill because it helps the future children and thats important, also education is one of the main things in life. Without it it would be hard to survive. HB50

I am most like Ben Chandler, from Kentucky. You can visit her site at: **[|http:chandler.house.gov/]. ** Ben Chandler is democrat and a representative from Kentucky. We have the same views on important issues, like education, crime, and immigration.

Ben Chandler believes that everyone should strive for an equal education and I agree. He is funding schools and focuses on dedicated, quality teachers. We both believe that higher education must be accessible. There is a 3.39% drop out riate and a 84.52% graduation rate. Ben Chandler would like the percentage of drop out rates to decrease and the graduation rate to increase.
 * Education **

Ben Chandler is trying to protect the most vulerable citizens from violence and a bill to prevnt the abuse and exploitation of Kentucky seniors. From 1960 to 2009, the crime rate in Kentucky increased largely.
 * Crime **

__**Immigration **__ We both believe that illegal immigration should be stopped. You could do that by improving boreder security and develop and border management system. You could also strengthen the immigration police. The foreign born population is around 80,271. That number has been increasing since 1990.
