Currently, high school students can get AP credits in subjects like Biology, Calculus, and even Art classes.
But for some reason, we don't elevate Shop Class to that same level — even though it's where you strengthen hands-on skills foundational to a career in the trades.

This is the reason why I cosponsored the bipartisan FEND OFF Fentanyl, END Fentanyl, and HALT Fentanyl Acts – which are all now law.
They are in this line of work because they want to protect and serve their communities. I’m grateful for their time and perspective. It’s my job to make their job easier.
It’s important for me to sit down and talk with law enforcement agencies like Centralia Police Department to understand the unique challenges they face.
Reflecting on the path behind us and choices ahead, I pray that we honor the best instincts of our heritage, the muscle of humility, and the grace to sacrifice for a common purpose.
After the horror of 9/11 I saw my country come together with an urgency sprung from recognizing the fragility of life — and our way of life.
John Baillie rings loud today — “O merciful Father, you look on the weakness of your human children more in pity than in anger, and more in love than in pity.”
Praying for Charlie Kirk and his young family, and that our country would turn towards the peacemakers and away from this isolating anger.
My amendment affirming that passed the Appropriations Committee on a bipartisan basis last night, and I'll continue working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to move this legislation forward.
We should not use taxpayer dollars to mandate kids’ participation in ineffective strategies from the 1990s. Parents deserve the right to opt their kids out.
There is broad consensus affirming what parents already know — mandatory active school shooter drills are deeply traumatizing for children and have no evidence of decreasing fatalities.

Stop by the Ilwaco Timberland Library from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., but if you can't make it, give us a ring at 360-695-6292!
My team will be holding Mobile Office Hours tomorrow, Wednesday, September 10 in Pacific County to provide assistance navigating federal agencies like the VA, IRS, or Social Security Administration.
You’ve probably seen the craftsmanship that’s coming out of Silver Star Industries, their products are used all over the country.
It was really cool to visit their shop floor in North Bonneville and see their work firsthand.
I proposed an amendment to help protect vote-by-mail, and I'll keep defending states' constitutional right to conduct their own elections.
In Washington, as well as in most states in the West, the only way we vote is by mail.
Paper ballots are the gold standard of election security, and voting by mail is great for working people who don’t have time to stand in line all day.
Emergency managers and first responders from across Southwest Washington are committed to showing up for their neighbors and building resiliency in their communities, and I enjoyed sitting down with them to pick their brains on how I can help them focus on preparing for the next emergency.
Rural emergency management departments have to make a little go a long way. They shouldn’t be bogged down by having to wade through paperwork or chase funding opportunities around.
I proposed an amendment to look at how to level the regulatory playing field, foster competition, and create a fairer environment for small manufacturers – and I’m excited by the bipartisan support it received in committee.
Upwards of 75% of the emergency vehicles industry has been consolidated by just three companies.
That's driven the price of a new rig to nearly a million dollars in some instances and made it ridiculously expensive for first responders to get replacement parts in others.
I signed. We need to go after all child predators. A powerful last name and fancy lawyers shouldn't give anyone a free pass to hurt kids.
