Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Over the course of the last several years, this Governor and Assembly have slashed funds that were once directed at our education system. This move has resulted in larger class sizes and higher local school taxes. These tax increases have been a significant burden to homeowners, particularly seniors.

I believe that education must be a priority for the future of our commonwealth. Education should never have been targeted as a way to cut spending when there is already so much waste in our government.

When I am elected, I will focus on cutting wasteful programs that do not benefit Pennsylvanians. I will work to reallocate some of those funds to our schools and help alleviate the burden of local school taxes.
