U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) today released the following statement on the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education:
"Betsy DeVos has been an advocate for school choice and believes that every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education, regardless of their zip code. I was pleased to vote for her confirmation as Secretary of Education, and I look forward to working with her to roll back the federal government's reach into education and allow states and localities to determine what's best for their students."
