Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I attended Chicago Public Schools and have three sons currently in CPS. Growing up in Chicago, I know the impact that underfunded schools have on our communities, our teachers, and our district. Therefore, I will fight to restore Chicago Teachers Union's bargaining rights so that they are able to provide the best environment for our students. I will fight for fully funded neighborhood schools regardless of zip code, for an elected representative school board, and to increase the MAP grant and funding for city colleges so that the children of the 9th District have the same opportunities as any other community in Illinois.
