On the recordDecember 14, 2022
today, my CRA on public charter schools is a simple vote today. It is a vote for common sense; it is a vote for parents; and it is a vote for kids. Here is the truth: Everywhere in America, except for Washington, DC, this is an 80-percent issue. Literally, 68 percent of Democrats, 67 percent of Independents, 68 percent of African-Americans, and 72 percent of Hispanics all agree with some form of school choice. This is simply a public charter school issue stopping the Biden administration from destroying one of the most important vehicles for human prosperity for the kids of our country. I urge my colleagues to vote yes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Washington.
