Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Strong public schools are the foundation of our society, democracy, and economy. Chris is proud of the education he received in the Manchester school system and wants to ensure that educational opportunities are expanded from pre-K through the post-secondary level.

New Hampshire students have one of highest burdens of student loan debt as the cost of college continues to skyrocket. Parents working to put their kids through college or students paying their own way should not be saddled with unbearable debt.

Chris will work to make college more affordable and to ensure it is within reach of each and every student, regardless of their zip code or family income. In Congress, Chris will:

Support tuition-free education at community colleges and public universities which will unleash the potential of every student, help rebuild the middle class, and stimulate our economy

Support universal pre-K to help close the opportunity gap that exists for too many New Hampshire families

Stand up to Betsy DeVos and those who wish to siphon money from our public schools and give it to private and religious schools

Support efforts to lower student loan interest rates and expand Pell grants

Support the expansion of job training, continuing education, and apprenticeship programs to meet our nation's current and emerging workforce challenges
