Issue Position: A Voice for Our Schools

Issue Position

My mom was a Head Start preschool teacher who dedicated her career to ensuring that all children have an equal education. Even when we were young, she made sure that my sister and I always understood the importance of equal access to quality education. Eventually, I served as a Head Start substitute teacher myself, working towards the same important goal that my mom did before me. As a proud father whose son attends a local public school, I know that our communities' schools are places where our children can expand their worlds and grow into the leaders of the future. In my role as a nonprofit leader, I work with and within our local schools to ensure that our youth have the support they need to succeed.

My Priorities:

*Making public college more accessible and affordable for our families.
*Fully funding vocational schools and other workforce training programs.
*Protecting public education and supporting greater funding for local school districts.
