Issue Position: Investing in Youth

Issue Position

We all succeed when our children thrive. Joanna will work to ensure that children in our community are not in the pipeline to prison. We are best served by having our talented youth succeed in education and finding productive ways to contribute to our community, not heading to jail. Joanna will fight to enhance the educational opportunities of our young people by introducing legislation for universal pre-K, to reach children early. She will connect children in the community to mentoring and out-of-school programs to enrich their learning and positively impact their lives. Every child is an investment in our future, and Joanna wants to protect this wealth in our community.
