Issue Position: Invest in our People and Future, Invest in Education

Issue Position

We must invest in our most precious of resources, our people, through an innovative educational system. The Governor's Task Force on Education put forth 20 recommendations for improving education in our state. Our legislature has still not fully funded the plan based on recommendations to bring the system to where it should be, and we must diligently place our priorities here. As a lifelong educator, I've worked in many different capacities with several universities to develop and strengthen our young people and prepare them for the workforce. I know children face many challenges and it is important to provide a strong educational foundation. I will be a strong voice for Idaho's entire educational system from pre-K through college graduation -- because that's where our future lies.
