STORY EXCERPTS:
The Club For Growth is launching two efforts to back school choice measures in Indiana and North Dakota, the organization told The Daily Wire.

The organization launched the campaign with ads that aired during the Sunday morning political shows. The campaign comes as President Donald Trump has pushed to dismantle the Education Department and put individual states in charge of education.

“School freedom is the defining civil rights issue of the generation and is only continuing to expand across the country,” Club for Growth President David McIntosh told The Daily Wire. “With the additions of Indiana and North Dakota, Club for Growth has now engaged in 10 states working to pass and protect education freedom in 2025.”

The North Dakota campaign urges lawmakers to pass legislation that would create an education scholarship program for private schools. Currently, multiple proposals are making their way through the statehouse that would provide parents with education vouchers.

That ad will run Monday through Friday on Fox News and conservative radio in Bismarck.

In Indiana, the Club for Growth ad is urging lawmakers to back Governor Mike Braun’s school choice proposal. Braun has proposed making every student in Indiana eligible for education vouchers.

…

The Club for Growth backed school choice measures that became law in Tennessee, Wyoming, and Idaho. It is currently backing efforts in multiple other states, including Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina.

“The status quo forced upon families by teacher union bureaucrats and the public school monopoly is indefensible — we will not stop until every parent has the opportunity to provide their children with the quality education they deserve,” McIntosh said.
