Now cross-crossing Virginia campaigning to be its next governor, Pete Snyder doesn’t often get to eat breakfast with his child.
Recently, however, he did. After they ate, his daughter Bee, 6, showed him something special hanging on her bulletin board. There, above her desk, Bee had pinned three of her father’s campaign bumper stickers to her bulletin board. It was a proud dad moment for the candidate.
Snyder, 48, has talked a lot about children in recent weeks, putting pressure on Gov. Ralph Northam to reopen schools to in-person learning. Recent studies in Prince William County and across the U.S. show virtual learning is failing most children. Many miss interacting with their peers and with trusted adults who had been there to help guide their development.
