Tyler is a firm believer in the American dream as his life is a testimony to it. Raised by a single mother and later adopted by a step-father, his childhood family subsisted at times on food stamps. Tyler worked his way through high school and college, graduated from U.C. Berkeley in just over 3 years and since has launched and run several successful mortgage finance companies while too serving as a minister / pastor on behalf of the church. Above all he is a devoted father, husband, patriot, and bond-servant of Jesus Christ.
Meeting with moms and dads in the 52nd district it is clear they just want better lives for their children. First-rate education is the best and highest priority to that end. Our career politicians have failed our students with outdated approaches to education fostered under government-controlled monopolies while bloated administrations continue siphoning most all the resources away from actually educating our future leaders. Monopolies were outlawed long ago as they are a detriment to competition therefore society. Yet we have perpetuated the most enduring monopoly in the most crucial area of public service; education.
I support returning the power to the parents via school choice initiative which will incite healthy competition that will reward our best educators and in turn build exceptional schools.
