Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

As a father of two boys, I know there is not a more important issue to a parent than the well-being and future of their children. That value should cross party lines, and as a State Representative, I pledge to fight for quality public education options for not just my children, but every child in Georgia.

Over half of Georgia's budget is dedicated to K-12 public education, and yet, we're still struggling with the crisis of failing schools. Georgia's funding formula is from the 1980s. We have the same tired debate year after year, instead of bringing all the stakeholders to a table to build the best public education system in the South. We need a new direction.

As State Representative, I will be an advocate for a 21st century approach to education. I will strongly oppose any cuts and fight for smarter, student-focused investments. I will listen to the educational leaders in our district and take their experience and expertise to the Gold Dome, because they know how to fix this problem, not the Governor, and not the Legislature.
