congressman Lou Correa is a longtime Orange County resident, with deep local roots. To this day, he lives only three miles from his childhood neighborhood in Anaheim. He is the son of working-class parents whose hard work gave him a chance at success. Lou has spent his career fighting to protect the American Dream, and ensure anyone can reach the middle class, just as he did.
When Lou was young, his mother cleaned hotel rooms across from Disneyland, and his father held a manufacturing job at a paper mill. Through hard work, Lou’s parents gave him access to better education than they had, and a path to the middle class.
Congressman Correa is deeply committed to the future of this country and understands that education is a fundamental part of that future. That is why Rep. Correa has actively fought to enact legislation that will help more people go to college by increasing resources for all students. Congressman Correa promotes educational policies that ensure all students can achieve their full academic potential.
