Issue Position: Public Education

Issue Position

Public education is in a crisis as we see with the budget cuts, layoffs, and shortened school weeks statewide. These are not a result of lazy teachers or fiscal mismanagement by our school districts. These cuts are a direct result of the fiscal mismanagement and lack of economic foresight by the elected officials at the state Capitol. We need a change! As a public school teacher, Jacob has been on the frontlines of the war against teachers and public schools. He will fight vigorously to turn back the attacks made in the form of bills that support the privatization and deregulation of public education, and to ensure the education of our children is a priority every year.
