Congressman Scott was selected by COABE due to his work to strengthen adult education and support adult learners, specifically his work to update the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).\n\n\u201cWe know that we must give adults the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century economy, and that has the added benefit of also keeping America\u2019s economy competitive on the global stage,\u201d said Congressman Scott. \u201cI was proud to see AStronger Workforce for America Act pass the House earlier this year, and I will keep working to get it passed by Senate and signed into law. That bill will make critical improvements to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and will expand the skills development provided under the law, strengthen the relationship between employers and the workforce system, and put more Americans on the pathway to successful careers. I look forward to working with COABE to support the needs of America\u2019s adult educators, learners and programs.\u201d\n\nCOABE is the leading national organization representing the US system of adult education.\n\nMore information on A Stronger Workforce for America Act can be found by CLICKING HERE.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/scott-receives-legislative-champion-award-work-adult-education"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8739656768739223, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
