Monique DeSpain and Trump’s Project 2025 Will Shutter Schools, Fire Teachers, Hurt Families, and Allow Further Discrimination

Monique DeSpain and Trump’s Project 2025 is an extreme manifesto that would have far-reaching consequences for Oregon schools, students, workers, and families.

DeSpain and her Project 2025 would severely hurt working families and our education system by:

• Shuttering public schools across the country, harming communities.

• Worsening teacher shortages by decimating 180,000 teaching positions.

• Calling to dismantle the Department of Education.

  • This could include cuts to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which House Republicans have already voted to cut by $10 million.

• Eliminating Head Start which serves over 800,000 children in all 50 states.

• Raising costs for families and students struggling with high education costs.

These far reaching Project 2025 proposals are deeply unpopular with voters – a large majority of voters oppose the agenda as they learn more about it.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“When we invest in our teachers and education system, we invest in families and in their futures – and Monique DeSpain and Donald Trump want to take that future away from Oregonians. The extreme agenda they are pushing to please their far-right backers is out of touch with the needs of working people in Oregon’s 4th district and will cost them in November.”
