Christy believes that a great education levels the playing field and creates more opportunity for all of our young people. That's why she has dedicated her career, particularly as a federal education policy expert and a member of her local school board, to improving schools and giving every student a fair chance through a world-class education, including:

• Ensuring charter school accountability and transparency by authoring and passing the first significant regulation on California's charter school industry in 27 years

• Chairing the successful Measure E Prop 39 bond campaign for the Newhall District, which provided $60 million in resources for facility and technology upgrades

• Making school sexual harassment resources accessible on school campuses

• Expanding the California ScholarShare program to pay for expenses associated with college such as rent, textbooks and rent, expanding college affordability

In Congress, she will work to support every student from preschool to grad school. Christy will work to invest in local public classrooms so that we can hire more teachers and reduce class sizes, and pay teachers livable middle class wages.

We must ensure students have options after K-12, without going into a lifetime of debt. Christy will work to increase the affordability and availability of options like job training, apprenticeships, technical school, and more affordable public colleges and universities.
