InfluenceWatch Podcast #254: The State of School Choice


In 2022, Arizona passed one of the most comprehensive school-choice programs in the nation. But later that year, the state elected Katie Hobbs, a governor who is backed by the teachers unions, and she has targeted that program for elimination even as other states like Iowa and Texas consider similar expansions to school choice programs.
