BACKGROUND

Why Moffie started MOFE Action Fund

​

“It is the goal of the people to establish a system of education which will develop the full educational potential of each person.” (Montana State Constitution, Article X Section 1) 

​

Montana values are reflected in our state's constitution and supporting public education is fundamental to who we are as a people. Whether you live in Glendive or Bozeman, we believe our kids are entitled to a quality education. That's why Montana is one of the last states to prohibit public dollars being used to fund for-profit private institutions, crippling our great public schools.

​

Unfortunately, some deep-pocketed special interests want to change the rules and use our tax dollars to fund their private for-profit schools.

​

MOFE Action Fund is committed to standing up for Montana’s Constitution, our students, our teachers, and our schools.

Representative Moffie Funk is a mom, grandmother, and retired award winning public school teacher. She's spent her life fighting for public education and has consistently stood up against school privatization efforts in the Montana Legislature.

​

Moffie believes we need to build a vocal majority that will stand up for public education, fund public pre-k, and oppose privatization. That's why she launched Montanans Organized for Education (MOFE) Action Fund.
