Issue Position

Peggy believes investing in education is paramount for the district and the future of Minnesota. As a child advocate and former executive director of Children's Defense Fund-Minnesota, Peggy has spent her career making sure our littlest Minnesotans, those ages 0-3, have access to what their families need including home visiting and early childhood family education. She's committed to closing gaps in school readiness by investing in high quality child care and early learning opportunities that ensure all of our children start kindergarten ready to succeed. She will work to fully fund public schools across the state to ensure today's students have opportunities to meet their full potential. The state legislature must ensure that college remains affordable and accessible, as a post-secondary education can be the final hurdle to full equity and economic security.
