Do Schweikert, Ciscomani Support Drastic Cuts to Department of Education To Pay For Tax Breaks For Billionaires?

TUCSON — Andrea Moreno, Executive Director of Honest Arizona, released the following statement urging Congressmen Juan Ciscomani and David Schweikert to oppose the Executive Order released by the Trump administration today to make more drastic cuts to the U.S. Department of Education:

“Targeting the Department of Education, whose largest mission is to support public education and public school students in low-income and rural communities, could be devastating for Arizona’s students, teachers, and families – particularly those in rural or low-income communities. Congressmen David Schweikert and Juan Ciscomani have remained silent as the educators and students in their districts could be hurt by Trump’s latest executive order. Arizonans deserve to know: do Schweikert and Ciscomani support efforts to gut public education to fund tax breaks for billionaires?”
