2022 CO Senate race: on Education


Joe O`Dea: Allow dollars to follow students, expand school choice

@ODeaForColorado: In Colorado, over HALF of our students are not reading or doing math at grade level. That's unacceptable.

It's time to allow education dollars to follow students, empower parents to have a larger voice in the discussion, and expand school choice. The status quo isn't working.

Ron Hanks: Federal involvement a failure, return control to the states

From the 2010 VoteSmart Political Courage Test California Congressional survey:

Q: Do you oppose federal funding for charter schools and K-12 vouchers?

A: "Federal involvement has been an expensive failure. Remove distant bureaucracy and return control to people and states. Return that 50 billion dollar annual budget to the states and people to use as they deem appropriate."

No change, he said Monday.
