J. Schuberth has begun a write-in campaign for governor of Oregon that centers on a pencil symbol to draw attention to the state's literacy results. According to the Urban Institute's demographically adjusted National Assessment of Educational Progress scores, Oregon placed last in the nation for fourth-grade reading.
National Center for Education Statistics data show education spending in the state increased over the last ten years. The campaign states its goal is to focus public discussion on reading outcomes rather than to seek elected office.
