Issue Position: Better Education

Issue Position

As the mother of two young children, I know now that we must begin educating our children early. In fact, for those who are not provided early childhood education, they may fall behind by age five with no means to catch up.

As co-chair of the Early Childhood Care and Education Commission, I drafted legislation to
fund $20 million towards early education.

I will work to protect early education funding and add additional funding to provide high-quality childcare.

I will establish a tax credit for parents to use towards early education spending.

I will continue to promote school choice.

I will continue to support funding of TOPS but want to make completion of a degree a criteria for funding.
