In addition, the Congressman led legislative efforts to revamp the state's K and higher education systems. He championed the College Promise Partnership Act to help K students better transition to college. The passage of his Student Success Act also helped higher education students by introducing significant reforms to the state community college system that focused on increasing graduation and transfer rates.
