EXCLUSIVE — A prominent school choice advocacy group launched a new super PAC Monday with the expressed goal of targeting state lawmakers who oppose expanding school choice, including in primary races.

The American Federation for Children, a nonprofit organization that lobbies for school choice, launched its new AFC Victory Fund PAC Monday and said it will spend at least $10 million during the 2024 election cycle to back candidates supportive of school choice. The PAC already has $6 million in commitments.

"There is endless amounts of money that the unions have to fight to keep school choice from expanding even further, but that's why AFC is excited about this [PAC] because it gives us more flexibility, it gives us more ability to have an impact on some of those places where the union grip is still too strong," Cantrell said."This structure is going to allow us to scale up and be even more nimble, be more effective, than we have been previously.
