Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, we must celebrate the wins because there is so much that happens here in the House that is not in service of the American people, including, this week, Republican efforts to give a blank check to ICE and to pass an education bill that would gut funding for schools and education institutions.

That is why we must celebrate the wins, and why I am so proud today to introduce my bipartisan Postsecondary Student Success Act to ensure that all students from all walks of life can succeed.

In New Mexico, we are leading the way as the first State in the country to guarantee early childhood education, free childcare, free college, and free trades schools for all. It was legislation I was proud to cosponsor and lead in the legislature and here in Congress. These are generational investments that will transform the lives of countless New Mexicans.

Today, I am introducing my Postsecondary Student Success Act that will make crucial investments to ensure that working parents, first- generation students, veterans, and students with disabilities who face real barriers, financial stress, lack of support, and systems--

Ms. STANSBURY.--that are not built for them can succeed.
