AFC Applauds Selection of Gov. Mike Pence as GOP Vice Presidential Candidate

The American Federation for Children, the nation’s voice for educational choice, congratulates Indiana Governor Mike Pence on his selection as the GOP Vice Presidential candidate. Governor Pence is a longtime champion for educational choice, believing that every child, regardless of family income or ZIP code, deserves access to a quality education.

“Mike Pence has been leader in advancing bold education reform, including supporting all educational options for children, both in Congress and as Governor of Indiana,” said Betsy DeVos, chairman of the American Federation for Children. “Our country needs leaders who will challenge the status quo of K-12 education. Governor Pence has a proven record of accomplishment when it comes to advancing educational choice and innovation, which are critically important to improving educational outcomes for all students in America.”
