Jeff believes that education is the foundation of opportunity and economic growth and that we need to get back to basics while preparing students for the real world. That includes expanding school choice so families have access to the best educational setting for their children, whether that’s public, private, charter, or vocational pathways. Our focus should be on core skills like reading, math, and critical thinking, while also expanding career and technical education, apprenticeships, and pathways that don’t require a four-year degree.
