The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is supporting the national effort led by Secretary Linda McMahon to return education control from the U.S. Department of Education to the states and today, Ohio joined the growing movement.

When a parent uses an ESA, a portion of the funds their local district would have received from the state for the student is deposited into a private account that is controlled by the parent and monitored by the state or an approved entity.
New Mexico does not need a new way to make energy scarce. Senate Bill 18, branded as the “Clear Horizons Act,” would write an economy-wide emissions mandate into law and then hand regulators the power to re-engineer how New Mexicans produce and use energy. The bill sets statewide emissions caps pegged to 2005 levels and ratchets them tighter, to “one hundred percent less,” by mid-century, effectively turning “net zero” into a legal requirement. In plain English, it is an energy-rationing bill dressed up as a feel-good slogan.
