The National League of Cities (NLC) is the voice of the nation’s more than 19,000 cities, towns, and villages to the President, Administration, and Congress. For a century, NLC has worked to represent local interests at the national level on issues related to early childhood education, K-12 education and postsecondary education, and the important role cities play in this conversation. We look forward to continuing the local-federal partnership with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) during the Trump-Vance Administration.
