2022 CA Senate race: on Education


Alex Padilla: Expanded after school programs; reduced class sizes

Alex was elected to the Los Angeles City Council as a political outsider at the age of 26. As a councilman, he expanded after school programs to serve 16 schools in his district, worked to reduce class sizes and built state-of-art libraries and museums in a community that had none. He recruited and retained local jobs and brought more job training programs to the Valley.

Mark Meuser: Schools are failing children

If 2010 was the year of the tea party, than 2022 will be the year of the Parent Party. Parents are fed up with politicians putting the interest of lobbyists ahead of their children. Parents are fed up with politicians playing politics with their children's education. Parents are fed up with their children being pawns in the political agenda of others.

You heard it here first, 2022 will be the year that Parents step up and hold their elected officials accountable for ensuring that their children receive a proper education.

In 2022, it will be the school board election races that will drive many parents to the polls because they realize the schools are failing their children.

Mark Meuser: Funding should follow the student rather than fund systems

Children are stuck in failing schools and many hard-working families have limited resources to ensure their children are properly educated. Mark firmly believes that education funding should always follow the student, rather than fund systems. He will be a strong supporter of any proposal that focuses federal fund support for students regardless of where they and their parents choose to go.
