Issue Position

"There is no one who is more concerned with educating our children than I am. With a wife, two sons, and a daughter-in-law who all work in education, I hear the concerns of our educators, and I know the challenges they face.

"It is unacceptable to be facing a budget shortfall that will require us to cut teachers at a time when we need to be hiring more. It is unacceptable for our state's public school system to rank 48th in the nation while our community college system ranks 15th in the nation. We must do better. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to do better.

"I will work hard to find solutions to the problems facing our schools, so that our children can receive the education they deserve. No one will work harder than I will to improve our education system."
