Thank you Senator Murkowski! I appreciate you thinking beyond party lines and donations received from Betsey Devos. I feel everyone would have applauded if the senators who had received donations would have recused themselves since they received so much money from her--it just isn't right on any level. 

In any case, parents aren't opposed to school choice where it can work, we just wanted someone with experience and would commit to accountability based on lessons learned with charters and vouchers. Many of the Senators felt it was unions calling and writing and weren't listening but it was just mama and papa bears, like me which is unfortunate. I've never experienced anything like it myself with all of my friends from all over the country on any topic, ever!
