“Tonight, Governor Pence affirmed his unwavering support for Hoosiers, particularly our most vulnerable Hoosiers: our children. In his speech, he advocated for the expansion of high quality preschool options for low-income students in Indiana, something that was also prioritized in the 2014 House Republican agenda.  

“Studies have proven that children who attend preschool are more likely to graduate, go to college and get a higher-paying job. Unfortunately however, not all Hoosier families are able to provide this fundamental step in education to their children. It is important that our low-income families have options so that parents are able to send their child to the school they see fit and where their child is able to succeed academically. I support and commend the governor on his commitment to all Hoosiers, both present and future, and I look forward to working with him to realize this important goal.”
