GOP candidate knows value of school choice

Every child deserves access to a high-quality education. Yet in Illinois, too many families remain stuck in underperforming schools with limited options. This reality is not only unfair — it restricts our children’s potential and their future opportunities.

Ted Dabrowski believes parents should have the freedom to choose the educational environment that best meets their children’s needs, whether that is public, private, charter or homeschooling. School choice recognizes that no single approach works for every child and empowers families to make decisions based on their children’s unique strengths and learning styles.

School choice also promotes accountability. When schools must earn the trust of families, it encourages higher standards and better outcomes for students. At the same time, it allows for innovative educational models that better prepare students for an ever-changing job market.

Illinois needs leadership that prioritizes families and invests in our children’s futures. I urge voters to support Ted Dabrowski in the upcoming Republican Primary election.

On March 17, voters have the opportunity to choose a Republican governor who is ready to challenge JB Pritzker and put students and families first. Together, we can do better for Illinois.
