Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

A strong education system gives students the opportunity to succeed and become future innovators and leaders. I am proud to live in a state that has some of the finest schools in the country. As a teacher, I know what it takes to make sure that our students graduate with the skills they need to compete in a global economy. We must work together to improve our public schools, empower and reward good teachers, increase access to pre-school, and invest in math and science education.

I will work to make college more affordable, so that everyone, regardless of income, has the opportunity to receive a high quality education. I strongly support our community colleges for the job they are doing and recognize the value of the NJ STARS scholarships that high school graduates with good grades can get to pay community college tuition. I also believe that we need more investment in technical schools, retraining workers for new jobs, and particularly workforce development.
