I taught in the Cedar Falls School District and understand the value of education as well as the challenges facing Iowa's students and teachers face. 

​

Making public education a priority is one of the reasons I ran for the Cedar Falls School Board and the Iowa State Senate. I will continue fighting to fully fund and support K-12 public education. I promise to always stand up for our public school teachers and parents so our children and families have all the resources they need to succeed. 

​

I know that we must extend those resources for our students beyond high school as well. Iowa's community colleges, technical training programs, and state universities all provide paths to success. Higher education, whether it be at UNI or Hawkeye Community College, should be affordable and accessible for all Iowans.
