Political Quotes

“Over the Fourth of July district work period, I met with my constituents across Chicago's west and northwest suburbs. Despite the range of our groups and communities I spoke with, there was one theme that was on everybody's mind: the urgent need for Congress to take action that puts hardworking families first. Across the country, working families are counting on us to invest in infrastructure, modernize our Tax Code, and help their children get the skills necessary for rewarding careers. Earlier this summer, the House unanimously passed the Thompson- Krishnamoorthi Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act. This bipartisan legislation will modernize and expand career and technical education programs across the country by increasing funding and local control while expanding the cooperation that exists between educators and employers. The House has done its part to advance this legislation and support working families. Now the Senate must act and send it to the President for his signature. ____________________”
