Universal school choice was one of the many campaign promises that helped propel President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to victory last year. The status quo in the public education system, in which children’s schools are defined solely by their ZIP code, is broken.

With unified control of Washington for the first time in nearly a decade, Republicans are preparing to deliver on their promise to families by incorporating the Educational Choice for Children Act, which we co-sponsored in the Senate, into Trump’s reconciliation bill. Passing the ECCA will help make school choice a reality for many more children across the country.
