WASHINGTON – Chairman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03) released the following statement after the Committee on Education and Labor formally organized for the 117th Congress.
“The Education and Labor Committee oversees a wide range of issues impacting all Americans in every facet of life—from childcare and public education to worker protections and health care access, our duty is to build an America where everyone can succeed. Accordingly, the Committee’s membership reflects a broad, diverse cross-section of America, including parents, labor advocates, educators, and small business owners.
“The expertise and experience they bring to this Committee will be invaluable as we work to achieve equity in education, support working families, and help rescue and build back a better economy following the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I look forward to working with this group of dedicated public servants on behalf of students, workers, and families across the country.”
