Oppose Linda McMahon for education secretary

If confirmed, Linda McMahon will work to gut public education and push failed public school voucher programs.

Take Action

Fill out this form to call your senators’ offices. Once you submit the form, you will get a call and be patched through.

The secretary of education should be the nation’s top public education advocate, helping push for more resources, and support for students no matter where they live, the color of their skin, or how much their family earns. 

If confirmed as education secretary, Linda McMahon will work to undermine public schools.  

  • She will work to dismantle the Department of Education, which helps lower class sizes, serve lower-income students in rural, suburban, and urban communities, and provide support to students with disabilities. 

  • She will promote public school vouchers, which take funds away from public schools, where 90% of students go, and give them to private schools. 

Like Betsy Devos, Linda McMahon is a billionaire with no significant background in public schools or any understanding of what it takes to help students thrive.   

Call your senators and urge them vote NO on Linda McMahon as education secretary.

ABOUT THE ISEA PAC

The ISEA PAC collects voluntary contributions from Association members and uses those contributions for political purposes, including, but not limited to, making contributions to and expenditures on behalf of recommended candidates for public office. Contributions to the PAC are voluntary; making a contribution is neither a condition of employment nor membership in the Association, and members have the right to refuse to contribute without suffering any reprisal. Although the PAC requests an annual contribution of $17, this is only a suggestion. A member may contribute more or less than the suggested amount, or may contribute nothing at all, without it affecting his or her membership status, rights, or benefits in ISEA.

Contributions or gifts to the ISEA PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. State law requires ISEA to report to the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board the name and mailing address of any individual whose contributions is $25 or more.
