In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“By repealing the outdated 90/10 rule, the PARITY Act ends a double standard that singles out career schools and ensures every institution is treated fairly.”
“Washington should not pick winners and losers in higher education. Career schools give students the opportunity to gain practical skills, pursue in-demand jobs, and choose the education path that best fits their goals. In North Carolina and across the country, these workforce-focused institutions help prepare students for the jobs our communities depend on.”
“When public confidence erodes due to serious allegations of misconduct, a leader must step aside.”
“I'm grateful law enforcement thwarted a planned terrorist attack in my district—but this threat hits far too close to home. Radical Islam has no place in America.”
