I have a sister in law that is an educator and happens to also be my constituent. And I have nieces and nephews that attend public schools throughout Congressional District 5. So for me, education is a priority. I was proud to support the $6,000 teacher pay raise in 2018 and the additional twelve dollar teacher pay raise in 2019. But I've also championed some other causes that are pro education that people might not know about. Things like reducing the duplicative testing that teachers were having to take for certification for certain types of teaching requirements. (05:18–05:29)
