As governor, Sara Rodriguez will fight to fully fund public schools so every kid gets a quality education and property taxes stop going up.

Our public schools are the foundation of strong communities. They're where kids learn, grow, and get ready for the future. They're where neighbors come together. And they're where Wisconsin builds the workforce, the citizens, and the leaders of tomorrow. But for years, Republicans have underfunded public education, diverted public dollars to private voucher programs, and forced local school districts to keep coming back to voters to raise their own property taxes just to keep the lights on.

This didn't happen by accident. It's been a deliberate strategy: starve public schools, expand vouchers, and shift the bill onto homeowners. Meanwhile, teachers are underpaid and leaving the profession. Classrooms are overcrowded. Special education services are stretched thin. And parents are being asked to fundraise for basics like books, supplies, and staff positions that should already be covered. We can fully fund public schools, pay teachers what they deserve, and cut property taxes at the same time – but only if we're willing to prioritize public dollars for public schools. Sara Rodriguez will.
