A resolution designating the week beginning October 19, 2025, as "National Character Counts Week".

Key Points

• The Senate officially named the week starting October 19, 2025, as National Character Counts Week. This is a yearly tradition meant to remind people about the importance of being a good person and a helpful citizen.
• The resolution focuses on teaching young people six main traits: being trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, caring, and a good citizen. It suggests that these values help kids succeed in school, work, and life.
• Grassley and a group of senators from both parties believe that families, schools, and community groups should work together to teach these values. They argue that good character does not happen automatically and needs to be taught.
• This action does not create new laws or spend any taxpayer money. Instead, it calls on people across the country to hold special programs or activities that celebrate honesty and good behavior.
