Working together to prepare our children for the future

Children are the key to a better future. Our children will be tomorrow's teachers, doctors, scientists, parents and even Presidents. That's why helping children has long been one of my top priorities. We need to make sure they get the best education possible so they will be prepared for the challenges of this new century. I encourage you to check out my priorities page to learn more about what I am doing to improve education in this country.
