Issue Position: Strengthening Opportunities in 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 public school system and wants to expand educational opportunities from pre-K through the post-secondary level.

New Hampshire students have one of the highest burdens of student loan debt in the country, and 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 continue to work to make college more affordable and ensure it is within reach of each and every student, regardless of their zip code or family income.

In Congress, Chris is working to strengthen education by:

Advocating for funding for local governments, K-12 education, and higher education to help preserve services and keep students and teachers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic

Fighting to make college more affordable so we can unleash the potential of every student, help rebuild the middle class, and stimulate our economy

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

Standing up to Secretary Betsy DeVos and those trying to siphon money away from our public schools to give it to private and religious schools

Advocating for lower student loan interest rates and expanded Pell grants

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