Education is a top legislative priority year after year, and a consistent topic of discussion at the State Capitol. It’s always a pleasure to welcome some of our state’s finest educational institutions to the Senate and my office. On Higher Education Day, we welcomed students and staff from East Central University and had the opportunity to hear about their continued efforts to improve higher education and workforce development in our state. ECU is truly an asset to our community, and it was a pleasure to visit with them.
