Issue Position: Investing in Teachers and Education

Issue Position

Dan is a product of North Carolina public schools, and he understands that education is the pathway to opportunity. Dan knows that teachers shape the lives of their students just as parents do. He believes that every child in America should be able to go to a great public school, no matter where they live. A child in rural North Carolina deserves the same great public education that Dan got in southeast Charlotte.

North Carolina built a reputation over decades as a leader in education and the leader of the New South, but now the politicians are undermining education. Teachers are having to work two jobs and pay for school supplies out of their own pockets. Dan will fight for teacher pay, early childhood education, and alternatives to four-year degrees like community college and job training programs that equip North Carolinians for the jobs of tomorrow without mountains of debt.
