Education

A quality education is the best way for Americans to climb the economic ladder, and I want to see that more Tennesseans get that chance. That means pushing back against what amounts to a National School Board by reducing federal mandates and returning decision-making to states and communities. It also means creating more school choice so more families can have access to better schools.
