Rep. Mike Flood, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska’s 1st district, recently shared his thoughts on educational policies via social media. Known for his advocacy in education and policy-making, Rep. Flood expressed gratitude towards former President Donald Trump for his recent actions regarding educational reform.

On March 20, 2025, Rep. Mike Flood tweeted "Thank you to President Trump for taking this bold step and I look forward to continuing to work alongside his administration to expand educational choice and opportunities for families and students in the months and years to come." This statement underscores his support for expanding educational choices.

In another tweet from the same date, he highlighted an executive order by the president stating that "The president’s executive order protects federal funding for key programs, such as special education, while cutting federal red tape that’s holding our schools back." This comment reflects Flood's emphasis on maintaining crucial funding while reducing bureaucratic obstacles.

Further elaborating on his views about education policy, Rep. Flood asserted on March 20th "Parents are the first educators of their kids and the more locally education policy is set, the better results our country will see over time." His statement emphasizes local control over education policies as a means to achieve improved outcomes.
