ASC Recognizes Dem Supporters of School Choice
The Alliance for School Choice recognized Democratic supporters of school choice, including Newark, NJ Mayor Corey Booker and DC Mayor Adrian Fenty.
The Alliance for School Choice today hailed Democratic supporters of school choice, hundreds of whom stood together at events this week in Denver to decry a failed style of politics that has confined children to underperforming schools and prevented parents from exercising meaningful options.
The ASC has noted an increase in bipartisan support for school choice reforsm all across the country as leaders recognize that this isn’t about politics but about doing what is right for our children.
Notably, 40 percent of Democratic lawmakers backed a sweeping increase in Florida’s Corporate Tax Credit Scholarship (CTC) Program this year and the two primary sponsors of an opportunity scholarship program for New Orleans children were Democrat. Most recently, Democrats in New Jersey and Maryland have boldly introduced school choice legislation and vowed to carry it to passage.
Earlier this year, the Alliance for School Choice gave two of its inaugural leadership awards to Democrats. The State Executive of the Year Award was presented to Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and the State Legislator of the Year Award was presented to Pennsylvania State Representative Dwight Evans of Philadelphia.
