I hope we can come together in a bipartisan manner to promote registered apprenticeship programs.

The Public Record
Susan A. Davis is a former U.S. Representative for California's 53rd congressional district, serving from January 3, 2001, to January 3, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, Davis focused on a range of issues during her tenure, including education, health care, and women's rights. She was known for her advocacy in promoting policies that support families and children, as well as her efforts to improve access to health care services.
Last week, in a disappointing maneuver, the Labor, Health and Human Services bill eliminated Federal dollars for apprenticeship programs.
I look forward to working with my colleagues on this committee to expand upon the registration process for apprenticeships while ensuring that protections remain in place for students.
We often hear from students that they are looking for more flexible education options to meet their busy schedules, and we need to answer this call and make quality apprenticeships a viable option for all students.
As this committee looks to help build a highly skilled workforce and close the skills gap that we so often hear about, we must look at effective models to expand.
I thank my colleagues, Chris Smith and Karen Bass, for spearheading this important bill and for really putting tremendous energy into it. Mr. Speaker, far too often, it is our children who fall victim to the horror of human trafficking. As…
Many people think of human trafficking as a problem that is happening abroad, but what they don't realize is that hundreds of thousands of victims are being trafficked within our own borders. It is hard to imagine such an injustice…
We should be working together on a bipartisan basis, just like we did with WIOA.
I am hopeful that Congress will reject the President's proposed cuts to job training programs.
I hope we can take a close look at how our workforce systems have improved since WIOA.
The reality is that the people who come into our service, the men and women, they came from somewhere.
Is there a disconnect here? And how do you translate this to the general public?
I thank my colleague for bringing this forward. The Marines United website was a disgusting breach of trust, and I immediately called for the perpetrators to be prosecuted. I appreciate General Neller coming to Congress earlier this year…
Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And I also want to thank the witnesses here as well once again.
All students deserve access to good information to inform their choices, regardless of whether they get aid or they don't.
Our data infrastructure has not evolved with the changing student demographics, and it simply is not equipped to do so.
That is why two of our members on our committee, Representative Paul Mitchell and Representative Jared Polis, introduced the College Transparency Act last week.
Our students are older; they are attending college part-time while balancing many priorities, like children and work.
Every day men and women in the police force put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Let me tell you about one of these extraordinary heroes: San Diego Police Department Officer Jonathan De Guzman, or JD, as his friends knew him. JD…
Recently I met with leaders of the San Diego medical research community who had a unified message: We need to end the cuts in research that have slowed medical innovation for the last decade. This year I was proud to lead the bipartisan…
I support the work being done by Chairman Chabot and Ranking Member Velazquez to increase contracting opportunities for small businesses.
It looks like my colleagues have wasted no time moving back to familiar territory after their healthcare disaster last week. Instead of fighting over how many people should lose health coverage, they decided that it is easier to unite…
