A new poll of more than 2,000 parents reveals a major shift: Education is no longer a quiet issue. It’s a voting issue. We’re releasing the full data on August 27. Stay tuned for findings on school choice, home-schooling, and who’s earning parents’ votes.

Ok, THIS. This is what I've been trying to tell folks. @chucktodd said it last night on @NBCNews: There was an opportunity to appeal to more voters. Parents like more school options and they are switching parties over it. #DoTheMath @actwithagency https://t.co/6saTkKNbVR

Chuck Todd argued on Tuesday that the Democratic Party blew it with Hispanic voters in 2024 by focussing too much on identity and not enough on policy.

🇺🇸 🗳️ Election Day is just over a week away! Are national and state candidates talking enough about education? We don't think so either! Join other leaders and parents and tell them that needs to change:

Why Trump & Harris Barely Talked About Schools This Election? I'd include fact that unfortunately, out of touch moderators in TV debates didn't ask about this. It's critical to millions. @debbieveney @citizenstewart @libbystanford in @educationweek

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump haven't outlined many plans for K-12 schools, reflecting what's been the norm in recent contests for the White House.

🗣️ 🗳️ “Vote for those candidates who care about our children.” With Election Day just over two weeks away, Dr. @HowardLFuller is urging us to vote and make our voices heard. As we decide who to support, let’s ask ourselves:   Do they care about more than education–like economic

It cuts down to one ☝️issue: public education choice. @actwithagency analyzed swing state voting patterns from 2020 and compared charter school enrollment data. In all seven swing states, charter school parents could swing the election. #DoTheMath https://t.co/jfU06UYu38

#DoTheMath: 40% of U.S. voters are K-12 parents. Parents are watching this election closely, and we are not hearing a lot on an issue that matters to us. It's time for candidates to speak up. via @morningstar @debbieveney

#DoTheMath Parents of K-12 students are one of the largest voting blocs in America and they have real power. Parents overwhelmingly want more choices in public education for kids -- and they're willing to vote for it. Just look at the numbers: https://t.co/xBvbJ0lGLJ

Parents vote. Parents care about education. Parents of K-12 students are 40% of the U.S. electorate. They are powerful. And this one☝️issue could decide the 2024 presidential election. #DoTheMath: https://t.co/V3Yxxccvkh
