Education

Education is the great equalizer for many Americans, especially minorities.

As a former schoolteacher, elementary school principal, school administrator, school board member, and founder of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson is deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives a quality and equitable education, regardless of their background.

During her time in Congress, she has championed policies to increase teacher salaries, expand student loan forgiveness, make college more affordable, and boost funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. She has also prioritized student mental health and workforce development. Some of my recent legislative efforts include the American Teacher Act, the LOAN Act, and the Every Student Succeeds Act. These initiatives are designed to address the student debt crisis, enhance educational outcomes, and strengthen our workforce.

Investing in the well-being and development of children is an investment in the future and prosperity of our nation. We can change the trajectory of our country by focusing our efforts on empowering young people and providing them with the resources they need to succeed. This includes expanding access to universal preschool, funding Head Start initiatives and ensuring robust investment in education at all levels.

Now more than ever, we must make children a national priority and strive to provide them with a better future than previous generations. This mission has been at the heart of her life's work, and she remains steadfast in her commitment to advocating for children each and every day.
