WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rand Paul today released the following statement in support of legislation by Kentucky State Senator Mike Wilson and State Representative Brad Montrell to adopt new laws to bring charter schools to the Commonwealth. Both Sen. Wilson’s and Rep. Montrell’s bills were introduced earlier last week.

“I firmly believe school choice is the great equalizer. All children, no matter who they are or where they live, deserve an equal chance to develop their skills and intellect. I commend Sen. Mike Wilson and Rep. Brad Montrell today for taking the initiative to push for the entrance of charter schools in our Commonwealth of Kentucky,” Sen. Rand Paul said.
