I’ve cut red tape so more builders can get federal financing, which is already helping build a record 1.7 million housing units nationwide.

I want to give every child a good start by providing access to pre-school for 3- and 4-year-olds.

I want to expand high-quality tutoring and summer learning time and see to it that every child learns to read by third grade.
