Veteran educator and administrator Kelly Mooney has picked up another endorsement in her bid for the District 3 spot on the Alabama State Board of Education. This time the endorsement is from the Eagle Forum National PAC.

“Eagle Forum is proud to endorse Kelly Mooney for the District Three seat on the Alabama State Board of Education,” said Kris Ullman, president of the National Eagle Forum. “We are confident that she will champion the interests of families, students, and teachers throughout District 3, and know the district will benefit from her extensive experience and passion for fostering a quality education system.”

Mooney said that her main goal will be to create and foster strong partnerships among parents, educators, and communities to improve education within District 3.

“I am eager to represent the families and children in District 3 and proud to have Eagle Forum supporting my candidacy,” said Mooney. “The education of our children is of utmost importance.

“Like Eagle Forum, I strongly believe parents must have the strongest voice in the room for their children’s education.”

Mooney is a former school leadership team member, admissions director, and educator of 15 years at Briarwood Christian School in Birmingham.

The Republican primary is March 5.
