As a mother and grandmother, I understand that children are our most precious resource and that we must invest in their futures. I am committed to making sure students in Palm Beach County and across the country have access to high-quality education – regardless of background and income.

Through my work as a Member on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, I have fought for increased funding to improve our nation’s public school system, bolster teacher training programs, invest in arts education, and make college more affordable. I will continue to speak out against Republican attempts to cut critical education funding which exacerbate our existing teacher shortage and decimate our public school system.
