I have been a public school advocate for nearly 30 years, serving on my local PTA, the Shawnee Mission School Board and voting for adequate and equitable funding in the legislature. We took the first step last session to begin to restore school funding and I look forward to working with my colleagues across the aisle next session to finish our work. I oppose any constitutional amendments that would intrude on the third branch of government and their ability to ensure we uphold the constitution. I voted to reinstate teacher due process and against arming our teachers. I am proud to have received the endorsement of all local and state pro-public education organizations.
