We often talk about the vital role parents play in directing the education of their children. But is this principle of parental engagement top of mind for policymakers in Washington, D.C.?

On this episode we sit down with Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah’s Fourth Congressional District to get his perspective on the education policy debates happening in our nation’s capital.

This episode is brought to you by Zions Bank, sponsor of the 2024 Sutherland Institute Congressional Series.
