Quality education for all New Mexico children
- (May 2010) Tax revenues spent wisely on education are a good investment in the future of New Mexico. For getting me started on a fulfilling career as a scientist, I owe a lot to my high school science teachers. I have taught science classes as a graduate student at UCLA, and I know that good teachers need time to prepare and freedom to respond to the needs of their students.
- We can find ways to put a higher proportion of education dollars funding teachers in the classroom rather than administration. Teachers work hard for the benefit of our children and deserve good pay and benefits, not continued cuts. Voters in this district will continue to support education as long as they see both administrators and teachers making good faith efforts to make their tax dollars go as far as possible.
- Local college branches such as UNM-LA play an important role in the community and deserve a fair share of state college funding.
