Focuses on dyslexia and literacy, citing his own childhood dyslexia: sponsored laws requiring insurers to cover dyslexia diagnostic exams and creating a state center for dyslexia and dysgraphia. His campaign says he wrote the Dyslexia Task Force Act, secured the center's funding and helped make the "science of reading" the state's literacy standard.
