Moolenaar as the Next House Co-Chair | 2020-12-07 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Republican | Senate | MI | Paul Mitchell | M001201 | mitchell.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Rep. Paul Mitchell (MI-10) and Sen. Tim Scott (SC)released the following statement today after announcing Rep. John Moolenaar (MI-04) will be the House Co-Chair for the Congressional Caucus on Education Innovation and Opportunity in the 117th Congress: Congressman Moolenaar is a strong advocate for ensuring every child has access to a quality education that prepares them for future success. He understands the needs of children and their families are unique, and they should have access to schooling that is best suited to serve those individual needs. Parents should have the freedom to choose which educational model works best for their children, and I know Congressman Moolenaar will continue fighting to advance this mission said current caucus House Co-ChairRepresentative Mitchell. For the past decade, I have fought for School Choice legislation. I am a firm believer that a child's zip code should not dictate his or her access to quality education nor define the child's future," said Senator Tim Scott. I'm glad to welcome Congressman Moolenaar as co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Education Innovation and Opportunity. I look forward to working together to ensure that parents have the right to choose the best path for their children. Students and parents deserve the freedom to choose the educational opportunities that are best for them, especially so they can overcome the obstacles to education that were created by the pandemic. I look forward to working with Senator Scott in the next term to empower families as they face new challenges in education, said Representative Moolenaar. Congressman Mitchell was an outstanding leader on this issue and I am thankful for the work he has done as co-chair of the caucus. The Congressional Caucus on Education Innovation and Opportunity is made up of 30 House and Senate members and promotes the expansion of educational options in order to meet students' unique learning styles and expose them to diverse post-graduate opportunities. The Caucus was previously known as the Congressional School Choice Caucus. In July 2019, Rep. Mitchell announced he would not seek reelection and that at the end of the 116th Congress he would retire from Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
