As a special education teacher, I see first-hand how the current funding for schools affects our students and our communities. I will listen to and work with all stakeholders involved in making our schools some of the best in the nation. I will protect the public school promise of educating all by preserving tax dollars for public use.
I will fight to make sure Iowa has good skill training programs and post-secondary opportunities for our students and workers. Iowans know what it takes to have first-class schools; there is no place for out-of-state special interest groups in our children's education.
