Issue Position: excellent Public Education and Student Loan Relief

Issue Position

Education is the entire foundation for our state's future. As the proud daughter of a public school teacher, I believe that we need to invest in public education that includes a competitive curriculum, practical training in fields like health research and development, advanced manufacturing and STEM, and a vibrant arts program. All of our young people should have access to world class education so we can thrive as a state with a talent-driven economy.

We need to consider long-term strategies, like restructuring the way we fund education, as well as long-term investments like debt relief for college graduates who chose to live and work in Connecticut. Planning and investing for our future generations will have a lasting impact on our workforce, our long-term sustainability, and increase our desirability as a place to live.
