GA Congressional representatives, past and present: on Education


Jon Ossoff: Hire great teachers, and reduce class sizes

All Georgians--all Americans--should have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We should ensure our children and young people get the best education in the world.

Jon will work in Congress to ensure our local schools get the resources they need to hire and keep great teachers, to invest in technology to keep students learning at the cutting edge, and to reduce class sizes.

Teachers should be honored, given the support and tools they need to do their best work, and paid better.

Jon Ossoff: Work to make college more affordable

Jon will work to make college more affordable. Student debt shouldn't prevent young Americans from saving, investing in their careers, and reaching their potential. Jon will work to reduce the burden of student debt on young Americans.

Jon will promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education for Georgia's students and professional education to qualify young Georgians for the workforce after high school.

Rick Allen: Local & parental control, not one-size-fits-all

For too long, the federal government has employed a 'one size fits all' approach to education in America. I believe that decisions involving the education of our children should be made by parents and officials on the local level--not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.. I will fight to restore as much local control as possible so that parents--not Washington politicians--are deciding the future of our children.
