Issue Position

Laura Murphy understands that there is nothing more important for the future success of our children or our state than making sure every public school is great for every child. For Laura, it's also the foundation of ensuring more and better economic opportunities for families throughout Illinois.

That's why she is deeply committed to expanding early childhood education and why she'll be a strong advocate for after-school programs and policies that make college more affordable.

"We need to close the achievement gap and give every child the best opportunity to succeed. That's why we need to get serious about expanding pre-K education, Head Start, and providing quality after-school programs to ensure that every child receives the kind of education they'll need to compete." -- Senator Laura Murphy
