Thanks @poozer87 for having me on @CapPressRoom to talk about why @NYSCatholicConf is urging @GovKathyHochul to opt in to the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit asap! @AbpNewYork @bishopofbklyn @BishopBarres @rfkram @bishoplucia1 capitolpressroom.org/2026/03/02/sta…

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEVADA STUDENTS Now that the state will participate in the federal tax credit scholarship program, new options for K-12 students and families will begin in 2027. Thank you, @JosephMLombardo, for opting in to this federal program and putting Nevada families first!

📣 THE GRANITE STATE IS IN New K-12 educational opportunities are coming in 2027, now that New Hampshire will participate in the federal tax credit scholarship program. Thank you, @KellyAyotte, for opting into this program, making this a reality for students and families!

ACTION ALERT: Help Secure Overdue Funds for Catholic Schools For more than 50 years, state lawmakers have been required to reimburse Catholic and other nonpublic schools for the full cost of complying with administrative mandates such as collecting and reporting student data on attendance, tests, and immunization records. The state, however, owes more than $30 million in overdue reimbursement to our schools, including more than $11 million for complying with the state’s student immunization program (SSIP). As lawmakers negotiate a state budget, please add your voice to help secure these needed funds for our Catholic schools! Click here to take action now: votervoice.net/NYSCATHOLIC/ca…

Well said, @susanamendoza10! "Illinois has a big decision to make this year. And it’s an easy one. Either Illinois students will see hundreds of millions of dollars in new resources supporting education or they will watch from the sidelines as that money flows to Washington and other states." chicagotribune.com/2026/02/18/opi…

The school choice proponent — and possible 2028 contender — is one of just two Democratic governors opting into a new federal scholarship tax credit buff.ly/BGLq8VY

Just had an op-ed published in the @DMRegister. Property taxes are a serious issue. Public schools deserve strong support. But Iowa does not need to sacrifice educational freedom to have that conversation. #SchoolChoice #SchoolChoiceWeek #ialegis desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…

Will Governor Hochul Opt-in to Support Kids & Schools? Starting in 2027, the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit will let taxpayers redirect up to $1,700 of their federal income taxes to nonprofit scholarship organizations that provide tuition assistance for students in Catholic schools. For example, a taxpayer owing $10,000 could direct $1,700 to scholarships instead of sending it to the federal government—directly helping families afford a Catholic education, and even additional services at public schools. But New York families will miss out unless the governor opts in. Governor Hochul’s participation would bring new scholarship dollars to Catholic schools, easing financial pressure on families and expanding access to faith-based education. Tell Governor Hochul to opt in and support Catholic school families. ✏️ TAKE ACTION HERE: votervoice.net/NYSCATHOLIC/ca…
