A school choice victory in Texas, a major legislative win in Arizona, and a personal reflection from Doug Ducey.

Guided by Principle

I was down in Texas where I joined Governor Greg Abbott to urge the Texas legislature to adopt an Arizona-style universal school choice program. I talked about the success of Arizona's program, which now serves nearly 100,000 students. Shortly after my visit, Texas passed school choice and Governor Abbott signed it into law -- a big win for Texas and for students!

National Review recently published an essay I wrote about conservative icon, and the magazine's founder, William F. Buckley Jr. My essay highlighted the influential role he played in my views and approach to business as well as politics. He was one of a kind, and America is better off for having patriots like him engaged in the big fights of the day.

At Citizens for Free Enterprise, we supported the effort to keep free enterprise alive and well in Arizona. A California union came into Scottsdale and tried to shakedown one of Arizona's largest homegrown companies, Axon. When Axon refused to cower to the demands , the California union turned around and threatened thousands of Arizonans' jobs. We can't have out-of-state holding Arizona's economy hostage so CFFE helped stand up for a critical employer. Our efforts were successful: legislation was signed into law that would prevent the union from doing more harm.

I also wanted to take a moment to remember the life of Pope Francis. As a Catholic, I am grateful for his personal example and years of spiritual leadership. His strength to make it to one final Easter Mass to bless those in St. Peter’s Square is inspiring. May he rest in peace.

Doug Ducey
Former Governor, Arizona

ABOUT US

Citizens for Free Enterprise stands at the center of the fight for continued American prosperity. We promote free enterprise, so all Americans understand the role it has in creating a dynamic economy and people’s ability to climb the income ladder.
 
Here's What We Do...
  
PROMOTE OPPORTUNITY
Opportunity is at the heart of our free enterprise system. An economy that creates greater opportunity empowers people to pursue their aspirations and reach their goals, allowing them to provide for their families in the process. We work to advance policies that foster more opportunity.
 
FIGHT BUREAUCRATIC OVERREACH
Regulation must remain limited and effective for businesses to grow and consumers to reap the benefits. The free-market economy has demonstrated its ability to succeed, often after the government has failed. We fight to prevent the government from stifling entrepreneurialism and hurting the American worker.
 
DEFEAT BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM
Progressive lawmakers have shown no hesitation to pursue a socialist agenda, normalizing the idea that economic solutions come from more government control. History tells us socialism has failed every place it’s been adopted. Now, we stand ready to protect and promote the economic policies that have made our country the most prosperous in the world.

  

With the help of principled lawmakers and people like you, we can safeguard for everyone an economic system that provides equality of opportunity for all who seek a happier, more financially secure life. 

 

Stay tuned in the coming months to find out more about our initiatives, and opportunities to get involved.
