FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our member of the month for April 2021 is Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.). A new member now representing Florida’s 19th Congressional District in the southwest part of the state, Rep. Donalds came to Washington as a FreedomWorks For America-endorsed candidate after years of public service representing his fellow Floridians in the Florida House of Representatives.

As the United States approaches the one-year anniversary of COVID-19 lockdowns being imposed across the nation, Democrats and their allies in the teachers unions continue to falsely claim that schools can’t be reopened safely. Thankfully, millions of parents on both sides of the political spectrum are beginning to see through these lies.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to cosponsor legislation to terminate the Department of Education, S. 323. Introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), this bill would do one simple thing -- return decision-making on public education back to where it belongs: states and local communities.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor legislation to terminate the Department of Education, H.R. 899. Introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), this bill would do one simple thing -- return decision-making on public education back to where it belongs: states and local communities.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success (A PLUS) Act, H.R. 513 and S. 106. Introduced by Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), the A PLUS Act would allow states to opt out of onerous Obama- and Bush-era federal education requirements.
