Christy Smith: Pay teachers a living wage and decrease student debt

Christy believes that a great education creates opportunity. In Congress, she will work to invest in local public classrooms so we can hire more teachers and reduce class sizes, and pay teachers livable middle class wages. Christy also wants to ensure students have options after K-12, without going into a lifetime of debt. She wants to increase the affordability and availability of options like job training, apprenticeships, technical school, and more affordable public colleges and universities.

Melanie Stansbury: Investments in public education help communities thrive

I believe that education and child-wellbeing are the cornerstones of a thriving community. As a graduate of Albuquerque Public Schools (K-12), I know first-hand the impact teachers and mentors can have on a person's life. In Congress, I will make education and child-wellbeing a top priority. I will continue to push for more educational opportunities for kids, increase pay for teachers, and for investments in education and community supports.

Nina Turner: More public funding for education from K-12 to college

Increase federal and state funding for early childhood education and child care, public schools and educators, and community schools and afterschool programs.

Ronny Jackson: K-12 education should have local and state control

I am in favor of reforming our education system. The primary education of our children should be a local and state issue. The federal government should not be able to mandate and promote the liberal agenda of other parts of the country on our schools in the state of Texas and the 13th Congressional District.

Young Kim: Local control for education, not D.C. bureaucrats

Top-down, one-size-fits-all policies from Washington don't work in our local schools. Young believes that our parents and teachers know best how local students learn and succeed. She will fight for increased STEM education funding and to make sure education dollars go to teachers and classrooms not bureaucrats in Sacramento or Washington, D.C.
