Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Every child deserves access to a world-class education.

Education begins well before K-12 schooling, that's why as a mother and Congresswoman, I'm proud to support universal pre-K to build a strong foundation for young students to thrive. But this is not only an education issue it is an economic imperative for working and military families.

In Congress, I was proud to support the Rebuild America's Schools Act that provides direct federal spending for school modernizations, renovations, and repairs, with priority given to public schools in underserved communities. I also advocated for the unique education needs of our military community. I helped secure $50 million to support districts with significant military child enrollment and for military children with severe disabilities.

As your Congresswoman, I'll continue promoting expansion of career and technical education because while college might not be for everyone, a path to the middle class must be. That's why I also support adequate student loan forgiveness so students who want to go to college can. No student should be deterred from seeking higher education because of the cost.
