Support for Traditional Public Schools

Public schools are the great equalizer in our society and, in theory, the only true meritocracy we have left. In a perfect world, if you work hard and play by the rules, a public education can take you from poverty to wealth, merely on the basis of work ethic. That’s the American Dream. But it is dependent on a public education system that truly sets up the next generation for success. I firmly believe in the transformative power of education, which is why I advocate for an unprecedented level of federal investment in public school modernization. Our goal must be to ensure that every school is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge resources, and highly skilled educators. By prioritizing substantial investments in these critical areas, we can lift the standard of public education across the country, ensuring that all students, regardless of their background or where they live, have access to the high-quality education they rightfully deserve. This commitment to enhancing public schools reflects our broader commitment to fostering a society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to our collective progress.
