Maintain Multnomah County's Universal Preschool For All Program as passed by an overwhelming majority of voters in 2020 (Measure 26-214). Carry out the will of the voters to create a universal free preschool program for every 3- and 4-year-old by 2030 that any household can access regardless of income; retain the tax that was resoundingly approved by a 2-to-1 margin of County voters; reject any further delay in fully funding Preschool for All; base decisions on what Preschool for All needs to succeed on input from program staff and other early childhood education experts — not anti-tax business lobbyists with little interest in the early childhood landscape.
