Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin launches new conservative policy group
The group will run a multimillion-dollar campaign in 20 states to boost awareness of the federal tax credit, which lets donors claim up to $1,700.
- On Wednesday, former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin launched Empowering America's Parents, a policy group promoting the Education Freedom Tax Credit in states that have not yet adopted the federal scholarship program.
- Part of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, the EFTC grants taxpayers up to $1,700 for contributions to scholarship-granting organizations, a system already adopted by 30 states for K-12 education support.
- Youngkin's group plans to 'aggressively target persuadable voters, primarily in the suburbs, who support school choice' through a multimillion-dollar campaign in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania—all key battleground states.
- Critics, including America's largest teachers unions, characterize the program as 'a Trojan horse carrying near-universal K-12 private school vouchers into every state that participates.' Democratic governors lead many holdout states.
- This launch marks Youngkin's first major move since leaving office in January, intensifying speculation about his potential 2028 presidential bid. He told Fox News' Sean Hannity in April he has 'more to give' regarding his political future.

Glenn Youngkin makes the case for new federal education tax credits in Pennsylvania
EVERETT, Pennsylvania — On a humid stretch of late summer, in the kind of Pennsylvania where school buses still trace two-lane roads past cornfields and corner diners, education policy rarely arrives as a headline. Instead, it shows up in quieter ways. For example, a parent asking about tutoring after a shift change, or a grandparent wondering if a child could finally afford a different school. That is the space Glenn Youngkin is trying to step …
