As a former Nevada University and Community College Regent for 8
years, promoting a quality education has been a life long mission
for me. Not much has changed since coming to Congress. I am still
fighting to improve our schools, and increase Nevada's share of
federal education dollars. With the rapidly growing population in
Nevada, we're forced to build a school a month in Clark County, and
fill those schools with equipment and teachers.
A quality education is a crucial foundation for our health,
safety, and prosperity. Without a quality education, our children
will lose their competitive edge around the world, and our country
falls behind other markets, which will then be able to offer better
wages, better benefits, and greater productivity. If our country is
to maintain its leading position in the world, and if our children
are going to be given the same opportunities enjoyed by the current
generation, it is essential that we provide our children with a
first rate education.
Take a moment to look through some of my statements and editorials about education.
