I’ve long been an advocate for school choice, parental control, and states’ rights when it comes to education. Arizona parents and teachers do not need federal bureaucrats telling them how to educate their students. Before I was elected to Congress, I advocated for school choice in Arizona and was involved in efforts to establish Arizona’s landmark charter school law.
Washington, D.C.’s public school system has long been the worst school system in the country, despite the government spending more per student than anywhere else in America. While in Congress, I sponsored the District of Columbia Student Opportunity Scholarship Act. The bill provided scholarships for elementary and secondary students in Washington, D.C., where the federal government has jurisdiction over education.
