Public Education and Workforce Development

  • Fight for federal funding equity to close gaps between wealthy and low-income districts

  • Champion a rural teacher incentive program- student loan forgiveness and housing stipends for educators.

  • Support universal free school meals because no child can learn on an empty stomach.

  • Expand access to vocational training, trade schools, and public service careers (fire, law enforcement, and EMTs)- especially for young people seeking real opportunities outside of college.
