States have embraced school choice policies across the country, including in Texas, Tennessee, Wyoming, and Idaho. But Gov. Joe Lombardo (R-NV) faces a Democratic-controlled legislature — a political dynamic far different from most states that have recently signed such measures into law, where Republican lawmakers hold significant sway.
