Description

As promised, we’re back with the results of the March primary. Governor Abbott edged closer to the voucher majority that he seeks. But he doesn’t have it yet. Jaime Puente of Every Texan broke down the results for us. Is the fight over education vouchers effectively over in Texas? No. It’s not. There are six runoffs that we will keep our eyes on. Another significant runoff is Speaker of the House, Dade Phelan’s, in east Texas. Despite his popularity among representatives in the Texas House, he is under pressure in his district. We urge you to use your power! Vote in your district if you have a runoff. Call your representative and ask them about their position on public education. Talk to your friends about this crucial issue that is foundational to democracy. Keep listening! We promise to keep you informed.Want to know more about Every Texan? Find them here.https://www.texasaft.org/Want to get engaged in supporting local public schools?
