Issue Position

I believe that our children are the greatest asset we have in this state. We need to properly invest in our education system so that our teachers stay in Oklahoma and that we have adequate resources to properly educate our children. We need to give our schools more local control vs. having to comply with the numerous unfunded State and Federal mandates. We must have strong schools in order to have strong communities and ultimately a strong state. In today's global business market; it's a necessity to have a very well educated and skilled workforce in order for our state's employers to complete against companies in surrounding states and countries.
