Issue Position

As a former schoolteacher, Janice Hahn understands the importance of quality education. As Lieutenant Governor, she will make fully funding K-through-12 education a top priority, which includes increasing job training and technical education opportunities, and expanding after school and mentorship programs to keep our kids safe and away from gangs and drugs. A member of the U-C Board of Regents, she will fight tuition and fee increases at California's universities and community colleges, and ensure every qualified student has the chance to earn a college degree. Janice Hahn will empower local classroom teachers and schools principals, because educators, not

Sacramento politicians and state bureaucrats need to be given greater authority to improve the quality of education in our schools, colleges and universities. In one of the first major endorsements for the 2010 election, Janice has been endorsed by the California Federation of Teachers.
