Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Democrat Natalie Figueroa has been a teacher for over 25 years and believes that our children are our greatest hope. She also believes that our children need someone to be their advocate in Santa Fe. When we support education every step of the way, kids in Albuquerque will have better opportunities to succeed.

As a State Representative, Natalie Figueroa will be our voice for the issues we care about. She has experience on the issues our schools are facing. To improve education in New Mexico Natalie will:

Focus on what works--early childhood education and teaching, not over-testing
Stop taxpayer dollars from flowing to out-of-state, for-profit testing corporations at the expense of our schools
Provide students and teachers with opportunities that foster true learning with smaller class sizes
Freeze corporate tax cuts and use the savings for investments in teaching
