I’m proud to support programs like Head Start that help fortify the education of the next generation of West Virginia leaders.” “Early education is essential for a bright future and Head Start provides our youngest West Virginians with the skills and education they need to succeed, no matter their background. I’m a longtime supporter of Head Start and know this investment will continue to benefit the programs across our state. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for Head Start funding so they can give our children the chance they deserve,” said Senator Manchin.
