On this application deadline for the Texas voucher program, it’s now crystal clear:
Your tax dollars are funding a private school subsidy for kids already in private schools.
They were never meant for poor kids.
Be sure to thank @GregAbbott_TX this Nov in #2024Elections
76% of voucher applications from families already in private schools.
Less than 1% of public school families have applied.
@GregAbbott_TX told us vouchers save poor kids from failed schools.
He lied.
Vouchers subsidize rich kids in private schools.

Well, what do you know?
*76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.
It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege
LISD has done an incredible job of informing. Please check 2026 Bond Propositions.

You may have never voted for a Democrat before but if you are a teacher or coach in Texas, nobody stood taller for you than @jamestalarico in the last 2 state sessions. There were a few house republicans who also stood up but they were primaried out by the top state leaders 2 years ago.
Many in the Republican party at the state level needlessly attacked you to gain support for ESAs. ESAs could have passed without those attacks, but the attacks made it easier. As a lifelong conservative voter this was hard to stomach. Thankfully some of those guys were defeated yesterday. But always during the attacks Talarico was there for educators.
These last 4 years have given me a lot to think about in terms of how I will vote. I have not changed how I feel about things, but no single party gets my vote automatically anymore.
I’ll enjoy watching this Texas Senate base and listening to the candidates.
Congratulations to our Lufkin Boys Basketball team and coaches on securing the 5th District Championship in a row tonight vs Marshall! Well done! #LufkinU
TX lawmakers claimed vouchers would help low‑income families but designed & implemented a system prioritizing the wealthy. Not an accident but a predictable result of a policy bought by billionaires & the politicians who serve them. @TexasAFT@jamestalarico@GinaHinojosaTX
