Education
Congressman Davis knows that education is the lifeline for the future of North Carolina’s First Congressional District. But, the Congressman also understands that grit and determination alone aren’t enough and that today, things are more complex than ever for kids from rural backgrounds like his who are trying to get to the next step on their ladder of success.
As a lifelong learner, Congressman Davis knows that access to a good K-12 education shouldn’t depend on your zip code and that the cost of higher education should never hinder an opportunity for a better life. So the Congressman fights daily in Washington, D.C., to expand access to early childhood education, lower the cost of higher education, and invest heavily in our HBCUs.
Congressman Davis also understands that college isn’t for everyone and firmly believes in ensuring our rural communities have the resources to offer residents opportunities like vocational training, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs that will allow young people to live their American Dream in eastern North Carolina.
