After spending $9 million in the 2022 election season to back political candidates who support school choice, AFC is now launching a super PAC called AFC \u200bVictory Fund. This new initiative aims to target state legislators \u2063who oppose school choice\u2064 for\u2064 students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-abortion-group-emilys-list-threatens-to-pull-endorsement-of-sinema-if-she-keeps-supporting-filibuster\/\" title=\"Pro-Abortion Group EMILY\u2019s List Threatens To Pull Endorsement Of Sinema If She Keeps Supporting Filibuster\">previous election cycle<\/a>, AFC \u200bachieved \u2062remarkable success, with a \u206275%\u2062 success rate in 277 out of\u2063 368 races. They even managed to defeat 40\u2062 anti-school \u2064choice incumbents. Celebrating this achievement, AFC CEO Tommy \u2064Schultz stated, &#8220;The tectonic plates have shifted decisively \u2064in favor of educational freedom,\u2064 and we&#8217;re just getting started.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the AFC Victory Fund, AFC plans to invest at least $10 million\u2063 in state-level races to ensure\u2064 parents&#8217; interests are represented\u2062 at the ballot boxes \u2064across the country. \u200bAlready having $6 million committed, they are well-positioned \u2064financially for the upcoming primary season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schultz made\u2064 it clear that candidates and lawmakers who oppose school \u2064choice will be targeted, while those who champion parents&#8217; rights will be supported. He emphasized\u2062 the importance of providing options for all families, not \u2063just the privileged few. Motivated by reports of\u2063 even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/school-choice-group-launches-super-pac-to-target-anti-school-choice-legislators\/\" title=\"New Super PAC Targets Anti-School Choice Legislators\">teachers union bosses choosing private schools<\/a> for their own children, AFC is determined to make educational options available to \u200devery family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ryan Cantrell,\u2064 AFC&#8217;s director of government affairs, expressed excitement about the AFC Victory Fund&#8217;s potential impact. He acknowledged \u2064the significant financial resources of teachers unions opposing\u200d school choice but highlighted the flexibility\u2064 and effectiveness that the super PAC brings. Cantrell believes this\u2062 structure will allow AFC to scale up and have a greater influence in \u200bareas where the union&#8217;s grip remains\u200b strong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cantrell \u2064emphasized that the desire for more options in education is a bipartisan sentiment. Republicans, Democrats, and independents all agree that parents should have the freedom to choose what is best for their children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In\u2062 2020,\u2063 Joe \u200dBiden, now the President of the United States, expressed his opposition to diverting public funds to private schools. \u200cHowever, AFC remains\u200d committed to prioritizing investment in\u2063 public\u2062 schools \u2062while advocating for expanded school \u200dchoice.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u2064advantages does the creation of a super PAC, like AFC Victory Fund, provide in terms of supporting\u200d pro-school\u2063 choice \u2063candidates and shaping \u2063election outcomes<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Andidate incumbents.
