Maria has championed efforts to ensure that every American has the opportunity to receive a quality education and gain the skills needed to compete for and seize job opportunities in a 21st century economy. With the help of Pell Grants, Maria became the first member of her family to graduate from college. She has consistently worked to open the doors to higher education, making college more affordable by expanding Pell Grants and supporting tax credits that help families offset the cost of college. Maria has fought to bolster Washington’s K-12 schools and teachers by improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs that provide students with key math and science skills.
