Trump Administration Urges Arizona Governor to Opt into Federal School Choice Tax Credit

The Trump administration, through Education Secretary Linda McMahon, is pressing Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs to opt the state into the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. This tax credit, part of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' signed last year, offers individuals up to $1,700 in federal tax credits for contributions to approved K-12 scholarship-granting organizations. McMahon criticized Hobbs for vetoing measures that would have allowed Arizona to participate, arguing it denies families access to educational freedom.
