CTE leaders in the House and Senate are preparing for the introduction of this year’s CTE Month Resolutions, and we need your help to recruit co-sponsors!  Senate CTE Caucus co-chairs Sens. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Ted Budd (R-NC) and Todd Young (R-IN), along with House CTE Caucus co-chairs Reps. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), are introducing the resolution in their respective chambers.  

CLICK HERE to ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor this year’s CTE Month resolution. 

This resolution recognizes February 2026 as CTE Month. CTE Month is a critical time in raising awareness of the role that CTE plays in connecting learners to high-wage, in-demand career opportunities that are vital to building a 21st-century workforce and strengthening the American economy.  

Strong support for the CTE Month Resolution will help to ensure that CTE is a priority for the Congress this year. Using ACTE’s Action Center, you can identify your senators and representative and send a message to their offices to ask them to co-sponsor the Resolution. If you have direct contacts in your Members’ offices, we urge you to call or email them directly.  

Senate co-sponsors are due by Feb. 12, while House members have the entire month of February to co-sponsor the Resolution.
