Jeff Yass, co-founder and managing director of Susquehanna International Group, made several public appearances in May 2026 to advocate for school choice initiatives. In a May 30 interview on the "More Money Show," Yass argued that public school systems are failing students and that teacher unions prioritize political power over education. He said that "there really is no Democratic Party. There's just the teachers union and they hire the Democratic Party." Yass proposed a model in which per-pupil funding would be split, with half allocated as a school voucher and the other half placed in a savings account for each child, which he said would give graduates $300,000 for college or a down payment. On May 11, Yass received the Alexander Hamilton Award from the Manhattan Institute. In his acceptance speech, he praised Texas Governor Greg Abbott for "the largest victory in school choice history" and thanked President Trump for enacting a national school choice proposal. Yass claimed that New York City spends over $42,000 per child per year with poor academic outcomes, stating that "our public education system is not about education. It is a jobs program for the teachers union." He said he supports any politician, Democrat or Republican, who fights for school choice, and added, "I don't believe we can change Harvard's ways, but I certainly look forward to putting it out of business."
“The real reality, the sad reality, is the left is not trying to solve the problem. They know school choice would make kids much happier. They know they'd save a fortune, but they would lose power, and their goal is to get power, and I don't think anything illustrates it better than this circumstance.”
“If you divided that money... in half and gave everybody a $21,000 voucher and a $21,000 money in their bank account, they would graduate with $300,000 and the affordability crisis that got Mamdani elected would go away.”
“Their algorithm is give us money, we spend it, the kids can't read and write, there's only one conclusion we can reach from that, we need more money. So, in Philadelphia, New York, they'll constantly say the schools are underfunded because they have to be underfunded by their logic.”
“There really is no Democratic Party. There's just the teachers union and they hire the Democratic Party.”

The Alexander Hamilton Award was created to honor those individuals helping to foster the revitalization of our nation’s cities. We chose to name the award after Hamilton because, like the Manhattan Institute, he was a fervent proponent of commerce and civic life. Through the years, we have expanded the scope of the prize to celebrate leaders not just on the local level, but also at the state and federal levels, who have made remarkable things happen in the realms of public policy, culture, and philanthropy. We hope our celebration of these awardees encourages replication of their efforts. Th…
