Public education & schools: “I'm a blue collar worker who was raised by blue collar workers - my father was in the military, and finished his life in construction.

I worked in construction, then upholstery and furniture, where I learned every aspect of it: from sewing, cutting, applying, and fitting to frames, I did it all.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
