Julian Beaudion will defend the Department of Education. Mike Rounds wants to dismantle it. It's time for a change in the U.S. Senate, and Julian Beaudion is it.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 60s

"We will not allow the Federal Department of Education to be dismantled. Mike Rounds, if you don't know it, is the author of the Senate bill to dismantle the Federal Department of Education. In addition to that, in addition to that, it's important for you to know that just recently, he, along with the Trump administration, approved funding to be cut from the Department of Education in the terms of after school programming and also in the terms of kids with special needs and they've shifted 100% of their funding to the Department of Justice. Again, that is irresponsible of folks and what we want to do is we want to do exactly what they see in places like Illinois and in places like Maryland where they've reinvested in their Department of Education and what they've seen is higher high school graduation rates but they've also seen lower crime rates in their communities at record pace. We all want that. We want to live in smarter and safer communities and I promise you that's what I will fight for when I am in D.C."
