Voters will head to the polls this November 8 to determine the new makeup of the 118th Congress and state governments, and to weigh in on ballot initiatives. At the federal level, all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats will be on the ballot, while 39 state and territory gubernatorial elections and numerous state legislative seats will be contested.
With federal reauthorizations looming for the Higher Education Act, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, National Apprenticeship Act, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program and the Farm Bill, and numerous state education and workforce policy discussions at play, these midterm elections will be consequential for education up and down the ballot. This makes it critical for CTE advocates to be informed on key issues and ready to weigh in on election day! Starting today, ACTE will launch its Election Watch 2022 series to keep you abreast of what issues are at stake, who is on the ballot, and how the results of the election might impact CTE in the next Congress.
