💰 Investing in education is investing in the talent pipeline that powers every industry. Education is the greatest driver of the American economy. Less than 4% of our US workforce (educators) train 100% of our workers.
Advocating for education resources at the state and national level is not just about schools, it is about the future of our economy. Every worker, innovator, entrepreneur, and leader is shaped by our education system. If we want a workforce ready to compete, create, and lead, students need modern curriculum, highly qualified teachers, technological fluency, cognitive skills, dependable infrastructure, safe environments and access to workforce opportunities.
I am proud to advocate alongside my colleagues and encourage each person to raise their voice with their state and national representatives for the the future of every child. Reach out, they want to hear from you!
