These victories build on Tennessee's growing reputation as one of the nation's leading states for school choice.

Statement from Bill Phillips, National Director of Government Affairs, AFC Victory Fund:
"Congratulations to this outstanding group of Tennessee leaders on their primary victories. Voters once again made clear that school choice is the ultimate one-two punch: it’s both good policy and good politics.
"Tennessee has become a national model for school choice expansion. These leaders will ensure that expansion continues until every Tennessee student has access to the school that best meets their needs.
"AFC Victory Fund was proud to support these school choice champions, and we look forward to working alongside them to build on Tennessee's remarkable momentum and ensure even more families have access to the educational opportunities their children deserve."
