Thank you for representing my opinion on the Senate floor. The question was whether to close the Job Corps Centers. I felt like we needed to give our young adults a second chance by educating them in a trade to help them be a taxpayer.
I faxed you a letter late Sunday night from Montana and you referenced my letter on the Senate floor on Monday morning. You restored my faith that my opinion was valuable in Washington DC. You represented me and did not ask if I supported your campaign, you did not ask if I was a Democrat. I appreciate that you represented me just because I was from Montana and I cared. The Job Corps Centers remain open and are serving our young adults. Thank you.
