Issue Position: Protect Our Schools

Issue Position

As a mother of two, I believe that just because times are tough, doesn't mean we should give up on the next generation. Some Richmond politicians are proposing a $1.2 Billion cut to our schools, which would mean packed classrooms and no personal attention for our students. And as a local leader who spent five years on the PTA board, I'll strongly oppose massive cuts to our world-class schools. Strong schools are not only important because of our kids, but because good schools protect property values and attract good jobs to our area. And it's why I am so focused on cutting wasteful spending elsewhere -- because the last place we should be cutting is from our future.
