WASHINGTON, D.C.-During National School Choice Week, Senator Ashley Moody is working to bring Florida's winning educational playbook nationwide. Today, Senator Moody took to the Senate floor to highlight Florida's status as best state for educational freedom and share her vision for expanding school choice nationwide.

Excerpts from Senator Moody's remarks:

"I am honored to serve as a co-host this [National School Choice] week with the chairman of the Help Committee, Senator Cassidy, as well as my friend, Senator Tim Scott, to represent the long strides my home state of Florida has taken to make us the best state, I believe, in the nation for educational freedom. This did not happen overnight. It took decades of thoughtful policy making and implementation tweaks along the way, and we're still working to get it right.

"We were one of the first states a few years ago to adopt universal school choice…For our children in Florida, school choice has been an invaluable tool for success. No matter their background or means or what zip code they live in.

"I've been a proud champion of the education Freedom tax credit, which is now, I'm proud to say, signed into law…Now, two million children across the nation will be able to seek the schooling that best fits their needs. And this is another way that we are empowering parents by supporting educational freedom across the country.

"…The possibilities are endless when we do away with that one fits one size fits all approach and empower parents to choose what best fits their individual child. And that is why I am committing to continuing to advocate for school choice, so that all of America's kids see the same opportunities that we've been able to offer to the children of Florida."
