Issue Position: Education
Issue Position
As my voting history shows, I am a strong supporter of public education while maintaining support for parents to have the tools they need to tailor their child's education to the specific needs of each individual. Education is best left to teachers and parents, not to Washington D.C. Education, like everything else, should be decided on the local level.
My strong support of education is based in my overriding belief that a vibrant economy depends on a well-educated work force. In order for our state to remain competitive we must focus on continual improvement of our education system. Specifically we must be more competitive in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). That is why I voted to support significant increases in programs that promote a greater focus in that area. I believe we are moving into a new and exciting education world thanks to online learning. In Utah, we have the best teachers and the best parents in the nation. I will continue to support both by giving them the best tools available to help educate our children. As a legislator I have pursued legislation that encourages innovation and improvement in education delivery.
