Issue Position: Education & Workforce Development

Issue Position

Southeast Wisconsin has the best workforce, not just in the country, but in the world.
New opportunities are coming to Wisconsin, and we need to prepare our workers for the jobs of the future.
As a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, I have seen first hand the importance of quality high schools, effective technical colleges and affordable, high quality universities. We have all of these in Wisconsin, and I will put a premium on ensuring that the federal government does not interfere with our efforts to improve and grow our workforce.
Federal mandates too often increase costs rather than improve education. I want to return control and decision making to the state and local level where it is most effective.
