Cory believes that a student’s zip code should not determine the educational and economic trajectory of their lives. During his time in the Senate, Cory has worked to ensure that all students have access to a high quality education. Cory believes our nation’s teachers and early childhood educators must be given the resources and support they need to ensure educational outcomes forall students, particularly vulnerable students. He introduced the RAISE Act, which would boost teacher compensation by as much as $15,000 through refundable tax credits. He also introduced the Advanced Coursework Equity Act which would increase enrollment and performance of underrepresented students in advanced courses and programs. In the Senate, Cory will continue championing initiatives that support teachers and bring our nation closer to educational equity.
