With my ministry of light, part of what I do is work on the California Alliance For Arts Education.

I'm a product of an East Coast liberal arts educational system.

I went to Cal Arts. I went to art school.

I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.

The value of an arts education is widely accepted, especially in California.

I've focused on making sure we have talented teachers and principals in our schools through proposals like the GREAT Teachers and Principals Act and the Presidential Teachers Corps.

I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.

I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.

I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education.
