Senate Confirms Betsy DeVos As Education Secretary with the Help of Vice President Mike Pence

Betsy DeVos has been confirmed as Education Secretary. Two Republicans, Senators Murkowski (AK) and Collins (ME), joined the entire Democratic caucus to force an historic tie-breaking vote from Vice President Pence. Public educators and parents of special needs children across the nation weep.

ACTION: Call your Senators, both Democratic and Republican, to either thank them for standing up for schoolchildren or to let them know you will be fighting against their reelections because of this vote.
