Republican Governors Voice Support for Linda McMahon’s Nomination to be Secretary of Education

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican governors joined to express their support of Linda McMahon’s nomination to serve as the Secretary of Education.

In a letter to the leadership of the U.S. Senate, the governors wrote, in part:

“​​McMahon is a rare find: a businesswoman who can also speak the language of government from her time leading the Small Business Administration. She worked on education policy in her home state of Connecticut and is a mother and grandmother. She believes in a smaller federal government that prioritizes local voices and needs.

“Unlike the Biden Administration, McMahon will not try to dictate singular, nationwide education policies from on-high in Washington. She will reverse burdensome mandates and target inefficiencies in the Department of Education. She will champion state leaders to continue the proven, conservative education reforms sweeping the nation: retaining and recruiting highly qualified teachers, a greater focus on literacy and civic education, expanded investments in workforce training, and parental empowerment.”
