Public schools are central to strong communities. Every student deserves opportunity and every educator deserves respect.
Why public education comes first
Public education is Stephen's number one priority. Our public schools are one of the most important investments we make as a community.
Stephen has watched public schools come under attack from policies that pull money and resources away from the schools most families rely on. Teachers, staff, students, and school districts deserve someone in Jefferson City who will fight for them.
He wants to make sure schools are properly funded, educators and staff are supported, and education decisions are based on what is best for students rather than political agendas.
What Stephen will fight for
- Protect public education.
- Support educators and school staff.
- Keep decisions focused on students and families.
