President-elect Donald Trump nominated Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education.
McMahon co-founded World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 1980 with her husband Vince.
McMahon served as the administrator of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first administration.
“For the past four years, as the Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Linda has been a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights, working hard at both AFPI and America First Works (AFW) to achieve Universal School Choice in 12 States, giving children the opportunity to receive an excellent Education, regardless of zip code or income,” Trump said. “As Secretary of Education, Linda will fight tirelessly to expand ‘Choice’ to every State in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families.”
I have a better idea. End the Education Department. Just completely end it.
McMahon has a background in education. Trump wrote:
Linda served for two years on the Connecticut Board of Education, where she was one of fifteen members overseeing all Public Education in the State, including its Technical High School system. She also served as a Member of the Board of Trustees at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, for two stints totaling over 16 years. She is now doing an incredible job as Co-Chair of our Trump-Vance Transition Team. Linda will use her decades of Leadership experience, and deep understanding of both Education and Business, to empower the next Generation of American Students and Workers, and make America Number One in Education in the World. We will send Education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.
McMahon stepped down as SBA administrator in 2019 to chair America First Action, a pro-Trump super PAC.
She is also the board chair of America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank. McMahon formed the think tank with Larry Kudlow and other Trump advisors.
