Had a great time meeting with @SenatorTester today!
Honored to receive the Patsy Takemoto Mink National Leader Award from @EdFunding. Education is our nation’s great equalizer—but it’s got to have resources. From supporting rural schools to strengthening TRIO, I’m determined to get MT students and schools what they need to thrive.

Honored to have been a part of the @edfunding “Ask the Expert” interview series. #GEARUPworks
@AppropsDems the bottom line is this: education NEEDS more funding
Another in our series of "Ask the Expert" interviews, this time with CEF's vice president @GUALAEmily of @edpartnerships with a great overview of the GEAR-UP program and why now is the #Time4EdFunding, not for cuts to support for education fb.watch/jKP6-nxEyo/
