Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, as co-chair of the Career and Technical Education Caucus, I rise to recognize National CTE Month. CTE programs, like those at the Genesis Center in my home State of Rhode Island, show the promise of economic opportunities for CTE students of all ages. Cindy's story is a great example. She was unemployed when she enrolled in the Genesis Center's Pharmacy Technician Pre-Apprenticeship Program at CVS, and before she completed her training, Cindy was offered a job. She then went on to get her Pharmacy 2 certificate, and she currently holds a full-time position in the Lifespan Health System. Cindy's story is just one of many CTE successes, and I am so proud to honor her and the millions of other students and educators this month. Madam Speaker, I am also pleased to recognize my good friend and CTE Caucus co-chair, GT Thompson, for his leadership in advancing CTE policy in Congress. GT's partnership has been absolutely invaluable, and I look forward to continuing our work together this month and beyond. ____________________”
