I was pleased to join Alabama educators to kick off their last day at the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education Conference. Alabama is making great strides to ensure our students have access to a high-quality education, and I can’t thank our teachers enough for their hard work in the classroom. #alpolitics

I am honored to have received the PROMISE Award from National Head Start Association in recognition of my work fighting for vulnerable children and families. No matter their zip code, every child deserves the opportunity to live their American Dream, and that starts with a quality education.
