Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Education

As a leader, Ed recognizes that maintaining the status quo in public education is incompatible with America remaining free and prosperous in the next century. With a laser focus on what's best for kids, Ed has worked hard since first being elected to fully fund the QBE formula in 2018, protect smaller class sizes, make teacher pay in Georgia #1 in the Southeast, and play a key leadership role in providing school choice options for Georgia's families.

In June 2020, with COVID-19 devastating state tax revenues, Ed voted to cut his own pay by 10% to safeguard teacher pay and vital classroom resources.

Ed is a member of the House Education Committee where he has played an active role in many of Georgia's most significant education reforms over the past decade. In this role, Ed has also had the independence to stand against members of his own party to oppose changes to educational standards that disrupt classroom learning.
