Poll: Arizona Voters Say Education Is No. 1 Issue

A plan proposed recently by Gov. Doug Ducey would provide nearly $2 billion for K-12 education through an increase in how funds from the state land trust are distributed to schools.

Not everyone is a fan of the plan — but it has opened up a broader discussion.

And a new poll commissioned by Stand for Children Arizona indicates education is the most important issue for the state’s voters.

We talked about the poll’s results with Rebecca Gau, executive director of Stand for Children Arizona.
