Horne: Hobbs and Democrats prove again they oppose school choice

  • Mon, Jan 12 2026

Reaction to State of the State address

 

PHOENIX – State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne says today’s reaction by legislative Democrats to Gov. Hobbs’ statements about school choice proves their opposition to parental school choice.

 

Horne said, “Arizona parents have made it clear they believe in being able to choose the best education for their children, whether districts, charters or Empowerment Scholarship Accounts. By their loud display today, Democrats proved they want to take that power away from mothers and fathers who know their children’s needs best and return education to a government monopoly that parents do not want.”
