Kay Hagan wants to increase federal spending on education.
The Democratic candidate for Senate unveiled her education plan Wednesday, calling for more money for No Child Left Behind, increasing spending on early childhood education and boosting tax credits for college.
She said she would pay for her education proposals by freezing the estate tax at its 2009 level, saying that will provide $175 billion over 10 years.
The tax is on a schedule to be repealed in 2010, though it could return the following year if Congress doesn't make the repeal permanent.
Hagan held a roundtable talk in Charlotte Wednesday with members of the historically black college community. (AP)
