Owens Statement on McMahon Confirmation

WASHINGTON, D.C. —  Education and Workforce Committee Vice Chair Burgess Owens (R-UT) released the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon as America’s 13th Secretary of Education. 

“Congratulations to President Trump’s Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, on her Senate confirmation,” said Rep. Owens. “The days of unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. driving down standards, sidelining parents, and putting special interests ahead of our kids are over. I look forward to working with Secretary McMahon to put parents and students back in the driver’s seat, restore merit, and ensure every child—no matter their zip code—has access to a world-class education.”
