Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Club for Growth launched its latest state-level school freedom campaign, urging lawmakers in the Wyoming State Senate to pass the Wyoming Freedom Scholarship Act. The efforts feature a new statewide TV ad, a new poll showing a majority of Wyoming voters support school freedom, and full-page print ads in the Casper Star-Tribune and the Wyoming Tribune Eagle promoting school freedom in the Cowboy State. The Daily Wire’s Lief Le Mahieu covered the developments in an exclusive report.

School freedom is one of Club for Growth’s main legislative priorities. During the 2024 election cycle, Club for Growth Action and its affiliated School Freedom Fund invested $15.7 million, which succeeded in defeating 14 so-called Republican state-level lawmakers who opposed school freedom in Texas and Tennessee.

EXCERPTS:

  • The Club for Growth is rolling out an extensive TV and print campaign in support of a school choice proposal making its way through the Wyoming legislature, the organization told The Daily Wire.
  • A new TV ad from the organization urges lawmakers in the State Senate to pass the Wyoming Freedom Scholarship Act, a bill that would allow parents to receive a $7,000 scholarship to help pay for tuition at private schools. The ad, which began playing on statewide political shows on Sunday, will run Monday through Friday on news channels in Cheyenne, the state’s most populous city.  “A child’s future should be shaped by dreams not districts. Their dreams start with choice,” the narrator in the TV spot says. “No red tape, no limits, just the best education for your child. It’s choice, it’s opportunity, it’s freedom. Because their future shouldn’t be decided by district, but by you. Tell the Senate, ‘pass House Bill 199.’”
  • … A majority of voters in Wyoming support the proposal, according to a recent poll conducted by WPA Intelligence. Overall, 51% of voters support the bill, with 54% of Republicans and 56% of unaffiliated voters in support. A strong majority (68%) of Democrats oppose the legislation.
