Teachers build the future using science, data, and facts, and our public schools deserve leaders who do the same. I’ll always stand up for educators, students, and public education.

Liars will lie, grifters will grift
Voucher lobbyists twist the truth to push privatization – but here are the FACTS:

✅ The average AZ ESA voucher is $10,349, not $7500.

✅ Vouchers will cost a total of over $1 billion this year alone.

✅ Vouchers do not save taxpayers money

😲 Today, the yearly cost of Arizona's universal voucher program reached $1 BILLION.

$1 billion in taxpayer funds are being siphoned into an unaccountable program that primarily benefits wealthier families who always chose private schools.
