Issue Position: Education and Opportunity

Issue Position

Congressman Zinke believes parents and communities know how to raise their children better than Washington, D.C., which is why he opposes common core. Zinke will remain committed to restoring parent and local school board control, and support families who chose to homeschool. Every child is different and has different needs and interests. Taking a cookie-cutter approach to education fails our children.

When it comes to higher education, Zinke is committed to stopping the rising cost of college by stopping the federal government from profiting $127 billion off student loans, abolishing excess regulations that cause students of the skilled trades to shoulder more debt than their cohorts at other colleges, and he supports students in skilled trades having the same access to loan and grant opportunities that traditional two- and four-year students have.
