McConnell Proud to Confirm McMahon as Education Secretary

Washington, D.C.
–
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Linda McMahon as U.S. Secretary of Education:
“Years of steady decline in student achievement make one thing abundantly clear: our education policies are failing America’s children. We need leadership at the Education Department that will check politics at the door and empower local communities, not federal bureaucrats, to shape their children’s education. I’m confident the President’s Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, will take an honest look at our education establishment and implement reforms that put the interests of students first.”
