What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

"Education is the No. 1 priority in District 27. We need to think radically to ensure all children have equal access to a quality education today, not at some distant point in the future. We must measure educational success based on outcome rather than income. Money allocated to education does not automatically translate into results, so we must measure performance and establish accountability mechanisms to reach the end goal of well-educated children ready to take their place in society."
