Education should be the great equalizer for ALL Washington's children, and Marcus is working hard to ensure each one of our kids has access to outstanding K-12 education no matter where they live or go to school. As the father of two young children, he also knows that kindergarten is too long to wait for a strong start. That is why, in addition to promoting small class sizes and exceptional K-12 outcomes across the state, Marcus is fighting for high-quality early-learning programs and wrap-around services to help close the opportunity gap and ensure every child in Spokane and Washington has an opportunity to succeed.
