House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams is getting a boost to her national profile.

The Atlanta Democrat is the latest politician to join Democrats for Public Education, a nonprofit set on boosting K-12 systems. Other co-chairs include Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

The Atlanta Democrat, who is seen as a statewide candidate, said she was proud to join a coalition “dedicated to ensuring the next generation has access to a first-rate education.”

“As Democrats, we understand that a good education is the greatest predictor of economic success and a key to breaking the cycles of poverty,” she said. “Together, we can lift up public education in America.”
