All of the factors that make up a quality city - safe streets, high paying jobs, strong neighborhoods, etc. - emanate from a strong educational premise.

We need innovation in education and dedication to the task before us.

Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next generation.

I am convinced that your Mayor must take the leadership role in education too.

I will lobby tirelessly in cooperation with other mayors around the country to insure that federal funding for our recently added police officers continues.
