Brett Newby, 43, is a father of two school-age daughters in Phoenix-area public schools.
He is a native Arizonan who began his career working with special-needs students and says he sees the need for ESAs for those students. He is a board certified behavior analyst and works in mental health.
Newby supports the original intent of the ESA program and says he would like to see it help families who most need it.
Full-day kindergarten is a priority and expanding Proposition 123 — education funding from the sale of state land — is also a focus for him.
