As a product of public education, I understand its value and will do everything in my power to protect, improve, and fully fund our public schools. Education is the foundation of opportunity, and every child—regardless of zip code—deserves access to a quality education.
School Choice & Strengthening Public Schools
I support school choice, allowing families to select the campus or district that best fits their needs. However, choice alone does not solve the deeper challenges facing struggling schools. If a campus or district is underperforming, we have a collective responsibility—at both the federal and state levels—to step in with the necessary resources to help students succeed.
Investing in Schools, Students, and Communities
To strengthen public education, I will champion:
✔Increased funding for schools in need, ensuring they have the resources, teachers, and infrastructure to thrive
✔Improved curriculum that prepares students for college, careers, and life skills
✔Strategic intervention plans for underperforming schools, offering guidance, mentorship, and support
✔Teacher recruitment and retention efforts, ensuring our best educators remain in the classroom
✔Safe learning environments, with measures to protect students and staff
Education: The Key to Economic Growth & Crime Reduction
The fastest path out of poverty is education. The quickest way to reduce crime is investing in our schools. A well-educated society is a stronger, safer, and more prosperous society.
As your congressman, I will partner for better schools, better resources, and better opportunities—because our students deserve nothing less.
