You've been governor of Texas for nearly a decade. With total REPUBLICAN control in both chambers. Every seat of power at the state level is under your influence. You've had the largest budget surplus in the state's history.
If public schools fail... IT'S BECAUSE YOU FAILED.
A majority of Texans agree: now is the time for school choice in Texas.
Parents must have the freedom to choose the education pathway that best fits their child and their family.
