The co-chairs of the bipartisan House CTE Caucus, Reps. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), are circulating an important “Dear Colleague” letter addressed to the chair and ranking member of the House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee. The letter requests increased funding for the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins) in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. It is critical that the letter garners strong backing in the House to show support for Perkins funding in this year’s uncertain and challenging federal fiscal climate.
CLICK HERE to ask your representative to sign the letter and support increased CTE funding in the FY 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill!

- Faith Tuttle (faith.tuttle@mail.house.gov) in Rep. Thompson’s office
- Allie Pearce (allie.pearce@mail.house.gov) in Rep. Bonamici’s office
Note: Senators will have a similar letter opportunity soon, but this one is just for House members!
