Issue Position

Derrick is a graduate of the New Mexico public school system and became the first male from his Pueblo to graduate from law school. Observing his mother's 42 years of headstart teaching and his experience teaching in New Mexico's public universities, Derrick has witnessed the struggles students, parents and teachers face in the public school system. Derrick believes it is time to adequately fund our schools, beginning at the early childhood level, to provide the necessary resources to ensure our children are prepared for the future.
