For the entirety of his 22-year career in Congress, Rep. Scott has served admirably on the committee, fighting for students and workers nationwide. In the coming years, this committee will have to address many critical issues, from the long overdue reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to tackling student debt, from raising the minimum wage to guaranteeing the retirement security of all Americans.
