On Tuesday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) held a ceremonial bill signing making the Grand Canyon State the first in the nation with a universal school choice program.

The legislation, which expands the state’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program to every K-12 student in Arizona, was championed by Ducey as a policy response to widespread problems in public schools that would allow parents to use taxpayer funds for nonpublic and public education alike.
