Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I believe the strongest ladder to success is education. Education is central to strengthening our economy now and for the future. After I started several successful businesses, I served as the chair of the Colorado State Board of Education. There I witnessed firsthand the shortcomings of our public education system and I decided to do something about it, so I founded innovative charter schools to meet the needs of underserved students. Education continues to be a top priority for me in Congress. We must have accountability at all levels; from teachers and administrators, to parents and students to ensure that every child graduates high school prepared for college or a career.
