\nRep.

His Rhode Island Skilled Economy or RISE Tour, which included a forum on career and technical education funding and a presentation on the opportunities for Rhode Island to excel in biotechnology, is taking him to a variety of venues to address closing the skills gap and strengthening the economy. Further, as a member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee and as co-chair of the Cybersecurity Caucus, protecting national and economic security from cyber threats is one of his top priorities. The first Cybersecurity Symposium was held at 溏心vlog免费B站 last year.<\/p>\n
