MMAC President Dale Kooyenga: Gov. Evers’ Stance on Federal Tax Credits for Choice Education is Premature and Lacks Public Input

Sept. 9, 2025 (MILWAUKEE) – The below statement can be attributed to MMAC President Dale Kooyenga on Gov. Evers‘ stance on opting into federal school choice tax credits.

“While the proposed federal school choice tax credit has generated national attention, there has been no public discussion of this policy within Wisconsin to date. Gov. Evers’ decision to oppose the measure at this early stage strikes us as hasty and lacks the deliberation such a significant policy deserves. With implementation not slated until 2027, we have ample time to engage in thoughtful and inclusive dialogue. Over the next year and beyond, MMAC looks forward to collaborating with educators, families, policymakers and community leaders to ensure any policy decisions reflect the needs and values of our region.”
