DeLauro Statement Following 8-Year Anniversary of Trump Exiting Iran Nuclear Deal
Position: The congresswoman argues that President Trump's 2018 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal was a strategic error that removed leverage over Iran, enabled uranium enrichment, and contributed to current regional instability and higher gas prices.
WASHINGTON — Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, issued a statement following the eighth anniversary of President Trump withdrawing the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which was in effect from 2016 through 2018:
“President Trump’s decision to end participation in the JCPOA, which limited Iranian enrichment to below the threshold for a nuclear weapon and created the world’s most intensive nuclear inspections regime, was the precursor for his current disastrous war. By walking away from this functioning agreement, he gave up critical leverage over the Iranian regime and enabled them to amass a stockpile of highly enriched uranium, making the regime more dangerous and more confident than ever.
“This failure of diplomacy has left President Trump with no good options to end the current war. He has failed to change the Iranian regime, failed to eliminate Iran’s uranium stockpile, and failed to convince the American people that this war is worth fighting. He has also caused the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has driven up gas prices to over $4.50 a gallon in the United States, and alienated our closest allies. Eight years later, we are all suffering the consequences of President Trump’s reckless and short-sighted decision to leave the JCPOA.”

DeLauro Introduces Legislation to Rein in For-Profit Charter Schools
Position: Congresswoman DeLauro introduced legislation to prohibit federal education funding from being awarded to charter schools that contract with for-profit entities for operating or managing the school, arguing that for-profit operators prioritize profits over student welfare.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro introduced the Championing Honest and Responsible Transparency in Education Reform (CHARTER) Act, legislation that would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure funds made available under these Acts are not awarded to charter schools that enter into contracts with a for-profit entity for operating, overseeing, or managing the charter school.
“For-profit companies are disguising themselves as schools, trading in taxpayer funds for boosted profits at the expense of our children’s learning,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. "For-profits, unlike non-profit organizations, are responsible for maximizing profit for their owners and investors, and that creates tension between what is best for students and what is best for profiteers. The CHARTER Act would reaffirm federal law and ensure that for-profit education management organizations can no longer exploit loopholes that have given them access to funding intended for non-profit entities. Education empowers the American Dream, and every child deserves access to a quality education that puts them first— not profits for owners and investors.”
“Profit should never be a driving force in public education, and charterschools should not be exploited to siphon federal funding intofor-profit schemes,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “I’m grateful to be leading this initiative with Rep. DeLauroto keep student funding in public schools where it belongs.”
“For too long, for-profit companies in Arizona and across the country have exploited loopholes to cash in on our public education system — putting profits ahead of students and operating with little accountability,” said Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. "That’s unacceptable. Every dollar meant for our kids should be going into classrooms, teachers, and resources — not into corporate pockets. I'm grateful to join Congresswoman DeLauroinintroducing the CHARTER Act so that we can make clear that our children are not a business model to be profited off of."
In 2006, the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit Court inArizona State Board v. United States Department of Education found that the terms ‘‘elementary school’’ and ‘‘secondary school’’ in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) were limited to nonprofit entities, holding that for-profitcharterschoolswere ineligible for Federal funds under the ESEA and the IDEA. In response to the decision, many for-profitcharterschools reorganized as for-profit operators of nonprofit organizations, enabling them to continue to receive federal funds under the ESEA and the IDEA. Using this loophole, charterschools run by for-profit education management organizations (EMOs) or other charter school “operators” receive federal funds only to have their schools run by low-quality, for-profit companies determined to extract taxpayer dollars with no little to no public transparency.
"Congresswoman DeLauro is right." said Randi Weingarten, President, AFT: Education, Healthcare, Public Services, "Charter schools were initially intended to seed innovation like magnet and community schools. However, many charters, while receiving generous public support, ignore the responsibilities that come with it: serving all students, reporting student outcomes, engaging the community, and respecting their employees, including their right to join a union. We know this well as we represent charter school educators across the country. These problems are even worse when for-profit charter management companies get involved. The results can be devastating: haphazard school closures and district finances left in disarray, with students hurt, and educators, school districts and parents forced to clean up the mess. Congresswoman DeLauro is trying to clean this up with the Championing Honest and Responsible Transparency in Education Reform (CHARTER) Act."
DeLauro Statement on Supreme Court Decision to Gut Voting Rights Act
Position: DeLauro opposes the Supreme Court's decision weakening the Voting Rights Act and calls for Congress to pass strong federal voting protections to prevent voter disenfranchisement of minority communities.
Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) released a statement in response to the Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais which guts the Voting Rights Act, weakening protections for Black, Hispanic, and other voters of color:
“This decision will drastically harm voting rights and lead to congressional maps in the South that disenfranchise Black, Hispanic, and other minority communities across the country. Republicans have spent years rigging maps to keep their power — this decision gives them a green light to go further. If they choose this path, they should not be surprised when other states respond in kind.
“I would prefer to see Congress pass strong federal voting protections so we can avoid a race to the bottom, but that requires Republicans to come to the table. What is clear is that the Voting Rights Act Congress passed and reauthorized on a bipartisan basis for so many decades no longer exists as written and voters of color will pay the price.
“We must guarantee citizens’ participation and representation in our democracy and protect the sacred right to vote which has made this nation great. Failure risks the end of American democracy.”
Position: The representatives support expanding income-driven repayment options for student loan borrowers and oppose the Trump administration's elimination of the SAVE plan, arguing that affordable repayment schedules and faster paths to debt relief are necessary to address the student debt crisis.
Legislation would expand income-driven repayment options for 40 million American borrowers left behind by President Trump, Republicans
Today, U.S. Representatives Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Greg Casar (TX-35), and Eugene Vindman (VA-07) introduced the Savings Opportunity and Affordable Repayment (SOAR) Act, legislation that would expand income-driven repayment (IDR) plans to protect student loan borrowers from unaffordable payment schedules and provide a clearer path to debt relief.
Identical legislation was previously introduced in the Senate by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Tim Kaine (D-VA).
“Americans are living paycheck to paycheck,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. “In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, President Trump is making it harder for working Americans to get by. They are already struggling to afford basics like food and gas. Now, many have been put on student repayment plans they cannot afford. The SOAR Act fixes that, putting borrowers first and providing much needed relief on an already strained wallet. That means affordable payments, protection from runaway interest, and a clear path to get out of debt. Americans should not have to choose between paying their student loans or putting food on the table – this bill eliminates that choice.”
“No American should have to go without groceries, gas, or rent in order to afford their student loans,” said Congressman Casar. “The SOAR Act protects student loan borrowers from unaffordable payments. Congress should pass it without delay.”
“The student debt crisis is squeezing tens of millions of Americans and holding back an entire generation. When people are forced to choose between paying student loans and covering groceries or gas, the system is clearly broken,” said Congressman Eugene Vindman. “The SOAR Act takes a commonsense approach by tying payments to what borrowers can actually afford, stopping runaway interest, and creating a faster path to relief.”
“As the first in my family to go to college, I know the barriers that too many students face in accessing higher education,” said Senator Merkley. “Income-driven repayment programs are an essential tool to address America’s student debt crisis. As the Republican ‘Big, Ugly Betrayal’ law threatens affordable repayment options for students nationwide, we must fight back by ensuring students have a much-needed path to loan forgiveness, now and in the future.”
The SOAR Act comes in direct response to the Trump administration's decision to eliminate the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which had provided over 7 million borrowers with $0 monthly payments and accelerated loan forgiveness. Following legal challenges from Republican attorneys general and a subsequent administration settlement, those borrowers must now find alternative repayment options, which has dramatically raised monthly costs.
The SOAR Act would:
Allow borrowers earning at or below 250% of the federal poverty line to pay $0 per month. Those earning above that threshold pay 5% of discretionary income on undergraduate loans and 10% on graduate loans.
Cancel remaining balances after 10 years for borrowers who attended school for 2 years or less, and after 15 years for all other borrowers
