Sen. Scott Introduces Trump Dept. of Education Nominee Linda McMahon at Confirmation Hearing

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and Co-Chair of the Congressional School Choice Caucus, introduced Linda McMahon at her confirmation hearing before the HELP Committee. McMahon is President Donald J. Trump’s nominee to serve as Secretary of the Department of Education.

“I can’t think of a more important civil rights issue today than public education and the education of our kids. I can’t think of a better person to take on that challenge than someone I had confidence [in] when she was the administrator of the SBA. I can’t think of someone better to take on this challenge than someone that took a regional company, WWE, and made it into the global powerhouse that it is today – the co-founder, the chief executive, Linda McMahon. I can’t think of someone better to do the job than someone, who served her own State Board of Education, who was a trustee at Sacred Heart University, and who led the policy initiatives at the America First Policy Institute. That would be Linda McMahon,” Senator Scott said in part.
