Prior to entering Congress, I had the privilege of working as a childcare specialist. I deeply understand how imperative early childhood education is for young children and their growth.
Education has played an indescribable role in the trajectory of my life. I am a firm believer in the power and transformative ability of education. Whether you are a child, young adult, or senior citizen, you have the right to an accessible, high quality education. We must address the cost associated with higher education, barriers impacting children of color, and ensure that our nation’s educational system is working in the best interest of every learner.
