Issue Position

Maryland's schools are nationally recognized, but Peter knows we can make them even better. That's why he's voted for $2.3 billion to expand and renovate schools, fought to better maintain our existing facilities, and led efforts to teach financial literacy in high school so all our kids graduate with the basic financial skills needed to compete in today's global economy.

Because Peter recognizes that teacher and student performance relies on quality classroom conditions, he's been the leading voice pushing for air conditioning in every single Maryland public school. Peter has been a leading voice for protecting the dignified retirement we've promised to our teacher's by holding the State accountable for our commitments and by safeguarding their money as Vice Chairman of the State's Retirement and Pension System.
