Ayotte will keep school choice doors open

Education Freedom Accounts opened doors for my daughters. Ayotte will keep them open for every child.

Every New Hampshire child deserves the benefits my daughters are enjoying thanks to New Hampshire Education Freedom Accounts.

I’m a Concord dad to 16-year-old Lilly, 15-year-old Annabelle and our youngest, Emma. All are homeschool hybrid students attending Bishop Brady High School. Lilly and Annabelle are taking early college courses. EFAs made attending BBHS possible. Lily wants to be a veterinarian, and Annabelle wants to serve as an Air Force jet pilot. Those dreams now feel within reach thanks to school choice.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte opened those options to every family when she signed the law making it available to NH children regardless of income. This fall, the program filled all 12,500 seats, with hundreds more on a waitlist. She also opted our state into the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit, which will make about 174,000 Granite State students eligible for scholarships starting in 2027, at no cost to the state budget.

Her opponent, Cinde Warmington, wants to shift EFA money elsewhere. They would take options away from families like mine.

Every child deserves to be able to further their education. Please join me in voting for Gov. Ayotte on Nov. 3 to keep these options open for every child.
