ACTE applauds the 118 members of the House of Representatives and 32 Senators who have helped to champion federal funding for CTE! In separate letters to House and Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittees, this large, bipartisan coalition of Members of Congress urged a strong federal investment in Perkins as part of the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriations bills. We again extend our appreciation to Reps. Glenn Thompson (R-PA) and Jim Langevin (D-RI), as well as Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) for leading these efforts in their respective chambers of Congress.
This remarkable show of support for Perkins funding is the direct result of the efforts of thousands of CTE advocates across the country that contacted their representatives in Congress to let them know that building our investment in CTE is a top priority! Complete lists of the Members of Congress who signed in the House and Senate are available here and here. If your Member(s) of Congress signed, take a moment to send a message expressing your gratitude using the CTE Action Center.
