Jeff Flake | Congressman Arizona’s Sixth District

Education

    Congressman Flake believes that education is a local issue and ought to be handled at the local level. He has opposed attempts to expand the reach of the federal government into education, including voting against the No Child Left Behind Act.

    In 2003, he played a pivotal role in creating a scholarship program for children in failing schools in Washington, D.C., where the federal government has jurisdiction over education.
