I am the only candidate for U.S. Senate that has a proven record of expanding school choice and standing firmly against the creep of Critical Race Theory into Ohio classrooms. The quality of our education system will define tomorrow’s workforce and the opportunities we pass on to our children. If we empower students and parents, instead of unions and special interests, education will flourish in America. That is why I have made support for academic freedom, school choice, trade skills and affordability in education a cornerstone of my career in public service.

• Dolan voted to ban critical race theory from classrooms in Ohio.
• Dolan expanded EdChoice eligibility, allowing more Ohio students to utilize the program.
• Dolan increased EdChoice scholarships from $4,650 to $5,500 for grades K-8 and from $6,000 to $7,500 per pupil in high school.
