The AZ GOP Chair has called for basic guardrails in the ESA voucher program to improve student safety and financial transparency. Yet MAGA Republicans like Jake Hoffman STILL refuse any reforms 😡

😲 Today, the yearly cost of Arizona's universal voucher program reached $1 BILLION.
$1 billion in taxpayer funds are being siphoned into an unaccountable program that primarily benefits wealthier families who always chose private schools.

⚠️ Public opposition to AZ’s ESA voucher program is soaring, driven by alarm over the total lack of accountability. According to a new poll from EdForward, over 75% of AZ voters have serious concerns about the misuse of taxpayer dollars, including public money being spent on luxury items and travel.

Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.
So they’ve paid for a poll-tested rebrand to sell their scam.
Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 60 seconds…
