Aaron Ford started his career in a public school classroom, and he’s never forgotten what it means to be responsible for kids looking to you for a fair shot.

He has a Ph.D. in education, raised four boys who matriculated through Nevada public schools, and has a clear view of what’s working – and what’s failing – in our system today. Joe Lombardo on the other hand vetoed school meals, blocked summer school funding, and cheered on Trump’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education, putting nearly $1 billion in Nevada’s school funding on the chopping block.

As Governor, Aaron Ford will do what Lombardo won’t: invest in our kids. He’ll guarantee school meals for every child, expand tutoring and summer school, and raise teacher pay, especially in rural and high-need schools. He’ll protect Nevada’s share of federal education funding and make real investments in trade schools, apprenticeships, and vocational programs so every student has a path to success, whether it runs through a university or a union hall.
