Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Claudia has spent countless hours meeting with teachers, parents and students and is intimately familiar with the challenges facing our education system. In both Albany and Washington, she has stood with parents, teachers and school administrators to push for meaningful reforms in our education system and opposed the rollout of federally mandated Common Core in New York. She also co-sponsored a bill that would give parents the choice to opt out of excessive, mandated Common Core testing. We need to be doing more as a nation to address the crippling student debt that face so many of our nation's graduates. Congress should be working together to address this issue. In Washington, Claudia will work to help ease the burden college costs on students and families.
