Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am seeking public office to Improve Educational Outcomes for Our Children in Utah. Reduce Class size to a sustainable level from the highest in the USA. Recommended 16 students per Elementary class (The STAR study) and 25 Students per Secondary class (Salt Lake City Community College)
I Oppose All School Vouchers Bills as they seek to reduce funding for public education and are sponsored by ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) & their Education Task Force Member Senator Margaret Dayton
