Sen. Cruz: Betsy DeVos Will Help Unlock the Gates of Opportunity
Releases statement upon DeVos Senate confirmation
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement in support of Betsy DeVos, today confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the next U.S. Secretary of Education:
“The confirmation of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education is welcome news for students and parents in Texas and across our great nation. DeVos brings decades of remarkable experience advocating for policies and programs that empower families and remove barriers to academic choice. Most importantly, she will fight to take power away from the bureaucrats in Washington D.C. and return it to where it belongs – to parents and teachers back home in our local school districts.
“I look forward to working with her on the enormous task of giving every child access to quality education, unlocking the gates of opportunity, and unleashing the potential of all children to pursue their ambitions and achieve their dreams.”
