We must rebuild and reinvest in public education. Every child—no matter their ZIP code, background, or family income—deserves a strong public school that opens doors, not closes them. Teachers should be respected, classrooms should be fully funded, and students should have the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Teachers should be respected, classrooms should be fully funded, and students should have the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Public dollars must strengthen public schools—not be siphoned away to private interests. That’s why I will fight to rescind public grants and voucher programs that divert taxpayer money into private school attendance, leaving our public schools under-resourced and our children underserved.
