Dear Mr. Howell,

Thank you for writing to express your support for Carl T. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) program funding. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you on this important issue.

CTE programs provide pathways to academic and workforce development programs in high schools, colleges, and workplaces across Georgia. However, CTE program funding has not kept pace with the number of interested participants.

As your U.S. Senator, I am committed to bringing jobs to Georgia and making investments into Georgia’s workers. That is why in July 2021, I was proud to send a letter to the Senate Appropriation’s Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies subcommittee, which requested increased funding for the Perkins CTE Basic Grant, the primary source of funding for CTE programs. I look forward to supporting these provisions in the Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations bill, and will keep your thoughts in mind should other legislation supporting CTE funding come to the Senate floor for a vote.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please don’t hesitate to do so again in the future if I may be of assistance to you or your family.

Sincerely,

Reverend Raphael Warnock
United States Senator
