February 14, 2022 Group Watch: Lt. Governor Ainsworth Clearly Voices Support for School Choice
Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth left little doubt where he stood on the school choice debate during a recent radio program, saying that school choice is “the right thing to do” and “I support school choice 100 percent.” He added he thinks it is needed in Alabama. His declaration came as the legislature is considering a school-choice bill brought by Senator Del Marsh in the Senate and Rep. Charlotte Meadows in the House. Ainsworth defended accepting contributions from the Alabama Education Association, a teachers’ union, noting that while he is an advocate for school choice, he also sees merit in having strong public schools in Alabama.
