Congresswoman Julia Letlow provides an inside look at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Letlow describes the convention as a united and exciting event, emphasizing the palpable sense of unity and purpose among attendees. She notes that the President’s subdued and emotional demeanor underscores the significance of the moment, highlighting the nation’s crossroads and the importance of making decisions that will benefit future generations.
A key theme of the convention is “Make America Safe Again,” which resonates with Letlow as both a politician and a mother. She discusses the importance of safety, not just in terms of national security and border control, but also in addressing domestic issues such as education and family values. Letlow believes that safety starts in the classroom and at home, advocating for parents’ rights to choose the best educational paths for their children and ensuring access to quality education.
The conversation also touches on the practical aspects of the convention, including policy discussions and the crafting of the party’s future direction. Education is a central topic, with Letlow expressing excitement about the potential for legislative changes, such as the Parents’ Bill of Rights, if the Republican Party gains control of the House, Senate, and White House. She emphasizes the importance of school choice and the need for proactive measures to raise children in healthy environments.
Letlow’s enthusiasm for education reform is echoed by recent developments in Louisiana, where Governor Jeff Landry has prioritized education in his agenda. The conversation concludes with a recognition that meaningful change in education will be generational, requiring a long-term commitment to doing things right in the classroom.
