We also need to expand workforce training and opportunities for diverse populations to become trained to enter some of these crucial professions, and we need to pay them a fair wage.
I will work to expand workforce training and opportunities and ensure fair wages for these care professions.
Occurrences
Evidence
We write in strong opposition to the provision in the Fiscal Year 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act that attempts to rewrite and erase history by renaming the Workforce Pell Grant.
We also need to expand workforce training and opportunities for diverse populations to become trained to enter some of these crucial professions, and we need to pay them a fair wage.
Assessments
The campaign statement established a promise to work on workforce training, opportunities, and fair wages for care professions. The later congressional letter Amo co-signed shows some action connected to workforce-training access through Workforce Pell Grants, but it is narrow, not specific to care professions, and does not demonstrate that fair wages or expanded care-workforce training opportunities were enacted or otherwise delivered. This supports partial credit for effort rather than full delivery.
