Issue Position: Educating our Children

Issue Position

As a former school employee, active PTA member and proud parent of three daughters, I've seen the struggles educators and students face as districts try to do more with less. In the past three years, the Legislature has taken $3 billion out of school funding, resulting in school closings, the layoffs of thousands of teachers and a lack of classroom basics such as textbooks. None of these things are good for our kids. Our children need the best education we can give them, so that they can dream big and pursue the best jobs of the future. Money won't solve every problem facing our schools, but I will always put our kids first and fight to restore the funding that was taken away from them.
