Issue Position: Economic Growth & Jobs - Enhance Education and Training

Issue Position

As a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Tim is focused on improving education and workforce training opportunities by empowering local institutions and states. Tim voted for:

* The Student Success Act, which would transfer power and resources from Washington DC education bureaucrats to local schools and states, because teachers, administrators, and local school boards know best how to educate students.

* The SKILLS Act, which would improve workforce training by giving more power and input to local educational and training institutions, including community colleges.

Michigan is blessed with many fine institutions of higher learning. Tim is committed to working with these schools as they provide a tremendous education and help students afford the opportunity. He introduced the "Helping Families Save for Education Act" with a Democrat colleague to help families save money for educational expenses.
