And we see this across the state where over 60% of parents, whether in the Republican Party or in the Democrat party support school choice overwhelmingly on the Republican side. And so Even homeschoolers, we see over 70% of homeschoolers consistently support school choice. And so it's a no brainer. HB3 being filed is so exciting to me because I felt like last session with a school choice bill that that was an okay start, but it wasn't what we needed. (05:39–05:44)
