As one of Ohio’s leading advocates for parental choice, I believe that a zip code shouldn’t

determine a child’s educational outcome and that parents should be free to seek the best

possible education for their child, whether in public, religious, charter, home, or whatever

school they may choose.

Applying free-market principles to the education world will make all ships rise, and ultimately

produce stronger, more disciplined, and better-educated children to compete and succeed in

the global marketplace. As State Treasurer, I proudly and vocally fought against John Kasich’s

Common Core standards implementation in Ohio.

As a Senate candidate, I have campaigned across Ohio on eliminating Critical Race Theory from

schools, and he I was the first to call on the State of Ohio to remove references to the 1619

Project from being listed as a “resource” for Ohio schools. I strongly believe that decisions on

education belong in the hands of Moms and Dads, not faceless bureaucrats in Washington,

D.C., and will work to eliminate the Department of Education.
