Arizona’s ESA voucher program spends $1 BILLION in YOUR taxpayer dollars per year — no accountability or transparency. This November, it's time we change that.

"In 2024, three Phoenix women were charged with defrauding the program out of more than $80,000. That same year, two people living out of state obtained more than $110,000 after applying for children that didn’t exist." azfamily.com/2026/05/29/ariz…

In 2006, Big Tobacco ran a copycat initiative to confuse voters.
It didn't work.
Now a DeVos-linked group is trying it with school vouchers.

AZ Senate Democrats call for a full audit of the ESA voucher program. This comes after the AZ Auditor General released a report blasting the program, alleging lax financial accountability. ABC15 ran a story about the Auditor General's concerns yesterday: abc15.com/news/state/auditor… @abc15

It should take longer to approve a handout of thousands of taxpayer dollars than it does to microwave a burrito. A new Auditor General’s report further proved the ESA voucher scam isn’t built to protect your taxpayer dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse.

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot. That’s not a policy position—it’s an American value. But in AZ, and increasingly across the country, universal school voucher programs are threatening that promise for millions of families @SenMarkKelly azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

"In a single Arizona budget year, the Grand Canyon State is on track to spend over $1 billion on a school voucher program with little oversight—and at the same time has cut around 181,000 children off federal food assistance."

Teachers make a real impact in the lives of so many students. I'm grateful for my amazing teachers in Prescott public schools, my mom who was also a teacher, and all the amazing educators in our state. Thank you for all you've done for Arizona's kids! #TeacherAppreciationWeek

With two public school teachers as sisters, I see firsthand how much our educators do for Arizona’s kids.
I’m grateful to all the teachers who go above and beyond to ensure our students thrive.
