Delivering on Educational Freedom

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, the one big, beautiful bill is the most transformative legislation in a generation.

It delivers tax-free Trump accounts for newborns, tax cuts for working families, and no tax on tips and overtime. For millions of parents, the most powerful piece of this is that it delivers nationwide school choice.

States like Utah have led the way. We have shown that when parents are in charge and students are first, kids thrive. This bill brings real education freedom to every ZIP Code in America.

I grew up in the segregated South. My parents, both educators, saw education as a legacy. I want that same legacy and opportunity for my 17 grandkids and millions of schoolkids across the country.

This bill empowers parents with scholarships for tutoring, private and parochial schools, and special needs, keeping the Federal Government out of the way.

Mr. Speaker, school choice funds students, not systems. Let's pass the one big, beautiful bill and deliver on the promise of educational freedom for every child and every family.
