Friend,

Our education system is failing the kids who need help the most. The ONLY cities in Kentucky struggling? Democrat-run. And that’s true across America.

This isn’t an accident. Decades of broken promises, decades of union politics—and our kids pay the price.

It’s not the kids in rural Kentucky who are suffering. It’s the kids in Louisville and Lexington, in our cities’ poorest neighborhoods, where only 30% are reading at grade level. The rest? Heartbreakingly, they’re being left behind.

Every time we fight for school choice, so parents can rescue their kids from failing schools, who stands in the way? Teachers’ unions that are propped up by the Democrats. They say “no choice, no options”—just the same FAILED schools, decade after decade!

Let me be clear: There is potential in EVERY child.

I’ve seen it. I've visited the Boys’ Latin School in Philadelphia. In a neighborhood where just 10% of kids graduate, 99 out of 100 boys at this charter school DO graduate, and go on to college! These young men are living proof that with school choice, success is possible, no matter where you come from.

But the unions and their Democrat allies would rather warehouse and abandon another generation than give parents power.

I refuse to back down. But I can’t do it alone. Will you chip in what you can to stand with me and fight for every child in every community to have a shot at the best education possible?

Radical unions and their Democrat friends want this system to stay broken. We must fight for reform now. Our kids can’t wait.

I hope I can count on your support.

In liberty,
Rand Paul
