Issue Position: Improve Public Education

Issue Position

Our tax dollars must be directed to our children's classrooms -- where they do the most good. As parents, we must re-establish the control of our education system at the local level -- with parents, teachers and administrators working together to provide the best solutions for our communities.

In 2013 I proudly co-authored landmark legislation, known as House Bill 5, reforming our curriculum standards in Texas, providing flexibility for graduation pathways, encouraging workforce preparedness and improving assessment and accountability measures. In 2015 I advocated for legislation providing greater accountability within our public school systems across Texas, instituting an A-F rating system for our schools. Additionally, I have been on the front lines in the fight to keep Common Core and C-Scope, and other reckless curriculum, out of our classrooms. Much progress has been made on this front and you can count on me to continue the fight!
