Education
In Congress, I will strive to ensure every child has access to high-quality, public K-12, technical, and college education, and that they have opportunities to success in a diverse, globally competitive workforce.
Congress must provide robust funding for our education system and we must do more to address the over trillion-dollars of student loan debt that exists, currently saddling American families and strangling our economy.
I want to ensure that students are not graduating with overwhelming debt and that we protect and strengthen existing programs for financial aid.
