My wife and I have both taught in Iowa’s public schools and understand the value of education as well as the challenges Iowa’s students and teachers face.

 

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

 

I know that we must extend those resources for our students post high school too. 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.
