Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Education is the paramount duty of the state -- and my number one priority as a legislator. As a parent, former Issaquah School board president, and ranking Member on the House Education Committee, I have worked hard to help our schools deliver an outstanding education for our children.

We owe it to our children to spend education dollars wisely, to embrace alternatives like charter schools and online learning to prepare them for the 21st century.

I have been at the forefront of efforts to implement the McCleary decision, to fund charter schools, and to ensure our property tax system does not penalize 5th District taxpayers.
