More on Education
As a self-described policy guy, I've spent a lot of time researching topics like agriculture and telecommunications.

I enjoy immersing myself in the intricacies of ag policy, but my time as a freshman member of the House Education and Labor Committee has allowed me to explore plenty of new avenues.
