Capitol Hill Rally Celebrates 'School Choice Champions'

By Jason Russell, July 22, 2015

School choice advocates gathered on Capitol Hill Tuesday to rally for educational options and celebrate three members of Congress that PublicSchoolOptions.org has named as Champions of School Choice.

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind.; and Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., were all awarded small trophies and recognized as Champions of School Choice.

"When you give parents options, when you give them a choice, kids have a better chance," Scott said. "No one loves their child like their parents, and the results are amazing." Scott praised the Washington, D.C. Opportunity Scholarships program. Scott said the program has a graduation rate almost twice as high as the District's traditional public schools and spends only 40 percent per student as much as traditional public schools do.

WaPo: GOP Winning Support Of Black Americans--Turning Point

Chelsi Henry, Nov. 7, 2014, Washington Post

On Tuesday night, Americans caught a glimpse of the Republican Party’s future. Mia Love, from Utah, became the first African-American Republican woman to be elected to Congress. Will Hurd became Texas’ first African-American Republican* congressman since Reconstruction. And Tim Scott, from South Carolina, became the first African-American senator from the South since Reconstruction. He’s also the first to be elected to both the House and Senate.

These historic wins mark a turning point in the Republican Party’s relationship with African Americans. Despite the prevailing narrative, it’s clear that diversity exists and is growing in the GOP. There are early signs that African Americans, tired of being taken for granted, are looking for alternatives to the failed policies of the left. And the Republican message is resonating. We are seeing new faces and new leaders in the GOP. After the election, African-American news sites The Grio and The Root were among the first media outlets to acknowledge the historic wins of Scott and Love. This support is a step in the right direction. African Americans can see that the GOP does not just talk about supporting them, but also has diverse representation in Congress providing solutions to the challenges we face.
