Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) released the following statement after voting against confirming Linda McMahon to head the Department of Education:
“As a proud product of the Nevada public school system, from kindergarten through my four years at UNR, I cannot in good conscience vote to confirm Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education. Since her nomination, including during her confirmation hearing, Ms. McMahon has made it clear that she will follow President Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education. This would have a devastating impact on Nevada’s students and throw our public education system into chaos.”
