Year in Review: 2024 in Videos

From fighting fraud to protecting election integrity, behind every political issue are Americans with stories to tell. That’s why lawmakers across the country are pushing bold reforms to help make their state better and stronger for every family, worker, and business owner in this country.

At the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), we want to highlight the work of these bold reformers by sharing stories from across the country and breaking down the complex issues that affect Americans from all walks of life through videos.

Here are a few of our favorites from 2024:

In the past year and a half, that has meant passing universal school choice for every single student, a pay raise and a merit-based bonus system for teachers, and options to prepare students for the workforce and the real world, not just a degree.

Fraud Fighters: Protecting America’s Taxpayers

Welfare fraud happens, and it costs billions of dollars every year—for both the taxpayers who pay the bill and the most vulnerable who have their benefits stolen. Welfare fraud investigators are fighting back throughout the country, but Congress has a responsibility to find the real scope of the problem and crack down on both fraud and runaway, unaccountable spending.
