What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) PUBLIC EDUCATION 2) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & DISPLACED EMPLOYEE RE-TRAINING |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | The funding and oversight of public education is the area of public policy I am most passionate about this issue due to the lack of adequate funding for public schools, the lack of oversight of charter schools, the stripping of the rights of teachers in the state of Indiana, and the lack of affordable, accessible pre-school. I don't believe the state of Indiana is currently making public education and our children a top priority for this state.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
