senate 01/20/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working to update the Internal Revenue Code to allow parents to use 529 savings accounts for a broader range of K-12 educational expenses, including tuition, learning materials, and educational therapies. Our goal is to provide families with more flexibility and support in funding their children's education.

Letting people use 529s for K-12 is a backdoor voucher system benefiting the wealthy and leaving the rest even further behind.

Expanding 529s is a good idea in theory, but how about some accountability measures first?

Finally, a move towards school choice that lets parents decide how to educate their kids instead of Uncle Sam!

Why not just fund public schools properly so parents don't need a savings plan to cover crayons and lunch?

A 529 for K-12 expenses? This could be a flexible option but let's ensure public schools aren't left in the dust.

This bill is a step towards empowering parents to invest in their child's education without government interference.

Why delay a good thing? Let's pass this bill to give families more control over their educational spending.

Parents might love the increased flexibility but will it deliver the educational outcomes we're all hoping for?

This bill is a classic case of robbing the public school system to subsidize private education.
