Free all-day kindergarten
Widely regarded as one of the state's most capable and accomplished managers, Tina Smith has spent the last three decades bringing people together to accomplish big things for her community and the people of Minnesota.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.
