Education for All

Cancel student debt. Make public colleges and trade schools tuition-free.

Education is a public good, not a commodity. Saddling an entire generation with crushing debt stifles economic growth and opportunity. We must invest in our students from pre-K to Ph.D.

The Sacks Agenda

  • Cancel all federally held student loan debt by legislative action.
  • Make public colleges, universities, and trade schools tuition-free for all.
  • Triple Title I funding to ensure schools in low-income areas have the same resources as those in wealthy suburbs.
  • Raise teacher pay to a minimum of $60,000/year nationally.
  • End the school-to-prison pipeline by replacing police in schools with counselors and social workers.

Lawler's School Cuts

  • Co-sponsored and voted for H.R. 5, the 'Parents Bill of Rights', which educators warn politicizes classrooms and encourages censorship.See the Record
