Our Children Deserve a World Class Education

My years teaching at Sunnyvale High School were some of the best years of my life. As any parent would agree, there are few things more rewarding in life than helping a child reach his or her potential. Unfortunately, the American educational system requires substantial reform to help ensure that the next generation has the skills they need to compete in an increasingly globalized world.

Congressman Honda Recognizes
Equal Pay Day

Issues of equity and fairness are integral to the strength of our democracy.  Pay equity, and its affect on every person in the U.S., is a vital issue and it is unconscionable that in the 21st century, the vast majority of women are still not paid fairly for their work.  I look forward to the day when every person, regardless of their gender, race or ethnicity, is receiving equal pay for equal work.

A New Direction for America

The American people demanded a New Direction: to make America safer, to help restore the American dream, and to restore accountability and fiscal responsibility to the people's government.

The 110th Congress brought new faces, new energy and a steadfast commitment to a New Direction. In January, the first woman Speaker of the House in American history gaveled open the Congress in honor of all of America's children. Passage of the Six for '06 agenda, within the first 100 hours and with broad bipartisan support, signaled change and a new focus on American priorities.

Today, under Democratic leadership, the Congress is focused on a New Direction that makes American families and children, and our future generations, our highest priority.

With faith in the future, we have begun to build a remarkable record of progress.
