弗吉尼亚州前州长格伦·杨金即将发起一个新的保守主义政策团体，这是杨金今年1月卸任以来的首次重大举措。他被认为是2028年共和党总统候选人的潜在人选。
这个名为“赋能美国父母”的团体将致力于推广教育自由税收抵免政策，这是一项联邦奖学金税收抵免计划，目前已有30个州采用了该政策。
据一位了解内部规划消息的人士透露，杨金的团队计划投入数百万美元开展广告宣传活动，瞄准尚未通过该法案的其余20个州。
目标州包括密歇根州、亚利桑那州、威斯康星州和宾夕法尼亚州——这些都是2024年总统大选时支持特朗普总统的关键摇摆州。

这项税收抵免计划将于2027年1月正式启动，允许纳税人向参与该计划的州内的奖学金发放机构捐赠最高1700美元，并获得相应的联邦所得税抵免。支持者表示，该计划将为K-12教育的学费支出提供奖学金支持。
一位了解该计划的消息人士称，内部民调显示民众对这项税收抵免政策知之甚少，因此他们认为有机会向选民普及该政策的好处。
据一位了解内部规划的人士透露，杨金的团队计划“积极游说主要位于郊区的、支持学校选择政策的动摇选民”。
此次宣布之际，共和党方面正有不少关于2028年总统竞选潜在候选人的猜测。杨金拥有庞大的捐赠者网络，且尚未明确透露未来的政治计划。他在今年4月接受福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼提采访时表示，在政治前途方面，他“还有更多可以贡献的力量”。
Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin launches new conservative policy group

Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is launching a new conservative policy group, marking the first major move since Youngkin, a potential 2028 Republican presidential contender, left office in January.
The group, called Empowering America’s Parents, will focus on expanding awareness about the Education Freedom Tax Credit, a federal scholarship tax credit that has been adopted in 30 states.
Youngkin’s group plans to target the 20 remaining states that have not adopted the program with a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, according to a source familiar with internal planning.
Among the targets are Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — all key battleground states that went for President Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

The tax credit program, which officially launches in January 2027, allows taxpayers to donate up to $1,700 to scholarship-granting organizations in participating states and receive a federal income tax credit. Proponents say it supports scholarships for K–12 education tuition expenses.
A source familiar with the program said internal polling showed a lack of awareness around the tax credits, and they saw an opportunity to educate voters on its benefits.
Youngkin’s group plans to “aggressively target persuadable voters, primarily in the suburbs, who support school choice,” according to a source familiar with internal plans.
The announcement comes amid speculation about potential 2028 presidential contenders on the Republican side. Youngkin, who has a significant donor network and has not explicitly laid out his future political plans, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in April that he has “more to give” when it comes to his political future.
