Science supports a phone-free school environment. No single policy can solve every challenge in education, but this one will make a big difference in our students’ social and academic engagement.
We are seeing daily reminders of this administration’s lawlessness — in Minnesota and around the country. We all must continue to seek justice and uphold the rule of law.
It’s both an educational effectiveness program, but also a teacher retention program.
It’s one solution, not the only solution, but one solution that will lead to filling up the ranks of classroom teachers.
I am confident in the ability of Arizona election officials to administer free and fair elections without added expense or complexity.
We are proud to see a technology company like Horse Spot deepening its commitment to our state. This announcement is a testament to the strength of South Carolina’s skilled workforce, and we look forward to supporting Horse Spot’s latest…
I’ve said all along my whole goal during this whole primary and runoff season was to make sure that we win in November, keep our state moving in the right direction, because the alternative of Keisha Lance Bottoms to that is just…
That’s a conservative record of success that Marty, the girls, and I are proud of — and it’s one that would not have been possible without our partners in the General Assembly.

We need to get serious about this before it’s too late.
Fifty years ago, we never would have given the Soviets the kind of leeway we give China: the access they have to our economy and our information, the dependence they enjoy from our supply chains.
