Strong Public Schools

As a dad with two daughters in public schools, this is personal to me. My sister is a public school teacher, so I’ve seen firsthand the impact on educators every day. Every child deserves a great education, no matter where they live. That means fully funding our public schools, supporting our teachers, and preparing students for real opportunities after graduation.


I oppose efforts to divert funding away from public schools. They are the foundation of our communities and serve the vast majority of Tennessee families. We shouldn’t take resources away from public schools while asking teachers and families to do more with less.
