Tina Smith on Education | |
For the last three years, Tina has served as Governor Mark Dayton's Chief of Staff where she has been a driving force behind Governor Dayton's agenda to build a Better Minnesota--making investments and reforms that have improved the lives of Minnesotans.
These successful initiatives have helped save families $2,500 a year by making free all-day kindergarten a reality for all Minnesota kids, delivered the largest financial aid increase in a generation that will help 100,000 students and will freeze college tuition at state colleges and universities, turned a $6 billion deficit into a $1 billion surplus, and helped businesses create more than 133,000 jobs since January 2011.
