WASHINGTON – Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement celebrating the nomination of former Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon to serve in the Trump administration as Secretary of Education:

“Above all else, the Secretary of Education should be principled. She should be committed to the wellbeing and success of students, and clear-eyed about what is needed to empower them. Linda McMahon fits that bill to a T. She’s a fighter who will work tirelessly in service of the students – not the so-called elite institutions, or the teachers unions or the federal bureaucracy. I am thrilled to congratulate my fellow North Carolinian and my friend on her nomination and look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes.”
