As one of the Republicans endorsed by NYSUT 4 years in a row Dave stands firmly with New York's teachers. He is a leader in the fight against Common Core as it takes the keys to success away from our teachers and strangles our student's ability to learn. One of the programs he spearheaded is the Read around Lake Shore Literacy program which provides free children's books. As Dave said, "reading is the key to children's success and opens up all the doors of the world to intrepid minds!"
