A Commitment to Education that Serves Everyone

  • Champion Competitive Pay – Fight to ensure Alabama teachers receive salaries that reflect their dedication and talent — and keep the best educators in our schools.
  • Protect Retirement Benefits – Safeguard the long-term security of our educators, support staff, and bus drivers with a strong and reliable retirement system.
  • Expand Classroom Resources – Push for increased state funding for school supplies and technology, so educators aren’t forced to pay out-of-pocket for what their students need.
  • Empower Teacher Voice in Policy – Ensure teachers have a real say in shaping education policy. Their input is vital — and Dustin knows their voice matters because it shaped his own.

Why It Matters

EVERY CHILD DESERVES A STRONG START

Education isn’t political — it’s personal. When we support our educators and empower our schools, we’re investing in every child’s ability to succeed. Dustin’s education plan doesn’t come from a consultant — it comes from the people who shaped him and the classrooms he’s worked to support. In Montgomery, he’ll fight for policies that build stronger classrooms, stronger families, and a stronger future for Walker County.
