Congressman Scott Taylor Supports INSPIRE Women Act

Press Release

Today, Congressman Scott Taylor supported passage of H.R. 321, the INSPIRE Women Act. This legislation, introduced by fellow Virginian, Rep. Barbara Comstock (VA-10), seeks to engage more women and girls in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields of study. The bill also requires the NASA Administrator to create a plan to facilitate and support current and former astronauts, scientists, engineers and innovators to attract and encourage K-12 female students to continue participating in and ultimately pursue a career in STEM fields.

Congressman Taylor had this to say about the INSPIRE Women Act: "We need to provide our young women and girls with every opportunity to pursue a career in the strongly in-demand STEM fields. The strength of our nation lies in diversity."
