“Public Education is the foundation of strong communities. We must strengthen public education. While I agree that parents have the right to make decisions about whether or not to put their children in private school or homeschool, it is against the Wyoming constitution for the money that is allotted for public education to be used for private schools. I stand with public education.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
