"I have a proven record of accomplishments and leadership on the important issues of this campaign: education, transportation and tax reform."
"We must redouble our efforts to make sure our students get the best education possiblefrom kindergarten through college. As a product of Virginia's public schools, I know the importance of a quality education. During the past two years, Virginia was one of two states in the nation to increase education funding. Virginia closed almost half the funding gap in our public schools budget while eliminating a nearly $6 billion deficit in the budget. We still have a long way to go, and I remain committed to making the tough decisions necessary to adequately fund public education."
