As we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, I rise today to recognize and honor the hardworking educators in Indiana's First Congressional District. I am grateful for all of our teachers who show up each and every day with the sole commitment to inspire and provide students with lifelong skills. Teachers' dedication and commitment to guiding our next generation through their educational journey and into thriving career paths is heroic. All teachers deserve to be adequately compensated for this tremendous work, and that is why I am a proud cosponsor of the American Teacher Act, which would support efforts to increase teacher salaries. Mr. Speaker, I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to advance this legislation, and I ask my colleagues to join me today in expressing gratitude to all educators in northwest Indiana and across our country. ____________________
