Education
Drew is committed to ending the cycle of generational poverty and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to pursue the American dream. As a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce in the 115th Congress, Drew worked to expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities for students. Drew was an original cosponsor of H.R. 2353, which supports innovative CTE initiatives like those across the Third District. President Trump signed H.R. 2353 into law on July 31, 2018.
Reining in Government Spending
Creating a brighter future also means taking action so that our children and grandchildren aren’t saddled with crushing federal debt. Drew served on the Committee on the Budget in the 115th Congress and led the fight to rein in the federal government’s out of control spending. Drew believes it is morally wrong to leave behind a crushing debt for future generations, and he remains committed to reforming the real driver of our debt and deficit: mandatory spending.
