Education

“Growing up going to public school, I know the tremendous, positive impact schools have in our communities. I worked my way through college with minimum-wage jobs and had to max out on student loans to make it happen, but my education opened doors for me. Now, as a business owner, a mother, and a volunteer in our local schools, I continue to see, first-hand, the difference a great education can make.”

Katy’s plan for Education:

  • Ensure funding for classrooms and great teachers
  • Implement a reasonable, meaningful approach to assessment and accountability
  • Expand education opportunities that prepare students for their own chosen paths – whether that be career training, technical education or college
  • Get politicians out of education and return control to the people who know how to educate kids – schools, teachers and families

  • Make health care and housing more affordable by providing choices, letting people keep more of what they earn.
  • Provide access to solid careers by expanding career training and technical education opportunities to students of all ages
  • Investing in
