Young Kim on Education

Local control for education, not D.C. bureaucrats

Vouchers instead of top-down, one-size-fits-all policies

Gil Cisneros (D): No. Don't divert funds from public schools to vouchers & private schools.

Young Kim (R): Yes. Has supported vouchers. "Top-down, one-size-fits-all policies don't work in our local schools."

Supports student loan forgiveness for college debt

Gil Cisneros (D): Supports interest-free college loans & free community college "for those who need it." Rework student loan program & make college tuition "free for motivated students." Fight attempts to cut Pell Grants.

Young Kim (R): Favors student loan forgiveness. Would like to address student debt once in Congress.

CC:Vouchers for private schools.

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Education Vouchers that Allow Parents to Choose a Public or Private School for their Children' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."

PVS:States decide standards, not federal government.

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Education: Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
