Issue Position: Fully Fund Our Schools

Issue Position

The Supreme Court has made it clear: we are not meeting our constitutional obligation to our schools. On top of that voters have made it clear that they want the Legislature to fulfill its duty through the voter-approved initiatives to reduce class size and provide more competitive teacher pay. I will make school funding a priority in the legislature without sacrificing important programs that families depend on. Hungry or homeless children aren't arriving to the classroom ready to learn. We need to take a tough look at outdated tax loopholes for special interests and continue to find ways to make government more efficient and accountable to the people. We have a big job to do but you can be sure that I will always put our kids first and make sure that we step up to our obligations.
