I want to thank you, Governor Scott, for your leadership on this topic as well as your testimony today.

the reality is that we are not going to save costs in the long run if we don't improve outcomes.

The people that I represent sent me to Washington to try to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

I think that what your success story really illustrates to all of us is that, you know, those programs are not about trying to breed dependency.

How can we scale programs like Year Up to help rural America?

I wanted to quickly express my desire to make sure that MIECHV is re-funded and reauthorized.

I hope that you will work with us on historic preservation once again.

I ask that you continue to strongly support historic preservation funds and the National Park Service Construction Account.

I am requesting an increase from $78.4 million to $87.4 million in the Historic Preservation Fund.

I am requesting that $3 million is included for competitive grants to historically black colleges to document the sites and stories associated with the Civil Rights Movement.

What we need are better opportunities, more resources, a hand up, not a handout.
