Investing in our Youth
The issue of investing in our youth's education is important to our district and to my work in Congress.
A strong investment in education is the best investment for a strong economy and our future competitiveness in the global economy. I am committed to strengthening our K-12 public school system, supporting our teachers, and ensuring all children receive a first-class education. Reforms to No Child Left Behind must be made to end the one size fits all approach to learning and heavy emphasis on testing under the current education law. Jobs requiring at least a two-year degree will grow twice as fast in the coming years as jobs requiring no college degree. It is essential that our students are adequately prepared for college and the cost of college tuition is affordable.
For more information concerning my work and views on Education, please contact my Washington, DC office. I look forward to your feedback.
