Early voting ends on Friday. Election Day is March 5, 2024.
Before our state Representative incumbent candidate who opposes school vouchers even knew the name of his primary opponent, I had taken a position. Indeed, during all those special legislative sessions where Gov. Abbott was holding teacher pay hostage, I had taken a position:
It was wrong for the Governor to have even attempted public school vouchers for his financial backers by holding teacher pay hostage during the sessions. And, it's no less wrong now for the Governor, and his financial backers, to be spending untold millions on opposition primary candidates to go against those legislators who refused to support him on vouchers during the legislative sessions.
Vouchers divert public tax dollars into private interests. And, there will certainly be less oversight of those dollars once they are privatized.
