Len is a grandfather; he knows how important the next generation is. As State Representative, he will support quality educational opportunities and demand that children have every opportunity to succeed.
We must encourage children to reach their maximum potential. Start telling every child they can be anything they dream regardless of economic status. Any other message is a negative message, and it is a self-fulfilling prophesy for failure. Let's change the message we are giving children in public schools to one of hope and an encouraging message of future success.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
