As a fellow mom in Congress and a lifelong education advocate, I have seen Cindy's passion for the next generation. Even before her time in Congress, as a mom at local school board meetings, Cindy fought to make real change and to promote education equity with the implementation of full-day kindergarten across her children's school district.
