At the heart of our American values is the belief that each of us, no matter our circumstance, can pursue our own success through hard work. That is how a small town boy like me wound up a businessman in Augusta and now a Member of Congress. The value of education cannot be underestimated on the path to achieve the American Dream. That is why I proudly support school choice. Support for school choice is growing. Evidence shows that 70 percent of Americans are in favor. A great success story is in Dublin, Georgia, located in my district. Parents can choose an elementary school with learning tracks based on a student's individual needs and interest. And those tracks continue through their childhood education. I am very proud to say that Dublin High School has a 96.3 percent graduation rate. God created every child to be unique, each with special gifts and ideas that only he or she may have. Families should have the opportunity to select a K-12 education and environment that is best suited for their children. ____________________
