The politics of education have changed so much, so quickly in the COVID-19 era that universal school choice — an unattainable ideal for generations of reformers — has suddenly become a middle-of-the-road position for most Americans. Universal education choice should be a ripe campaign issue for state candidates this fall and the top policy priority…
Ever since Republicans made surprising inroads with Hispanics in 2020, Beltway pundits have resorted to a cacophony of explanations to make sense of the Democrats’ problems with our community.

As the Republican Party prepares to retake the House, it is presenting voters with its most diverse slate of candidates in recent memory—candidates reflective of the men and women you’d see on Main Street every day.
