Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I BELIEVE in the transformative power of education to prepare our children for the world they will inherit and to provide individuals with a strong foundation for economic opportunity and success.

In Washington, I will fight for:

Investments in education from cradle to career: early education, public K-12 education, affordable college tuition, and practical education -- vocational training, apprenticeships and community college -- that convert into jobs.
Continuing education options that are local, convenient, and affordable for working people and those who are transitioning to new careers.
Making higher education accessible and affordable. Too many of our young people are saddled with gross amounts of debt that put them on the wrong economic path in adulthood.
