The “school choice” scam being pushed by the Tx GOP will DEFUND public schools (more) & INCREASE property taxes, especially in rural towns. This is a scam to pay the private school tuition fees for wealthier families with your tax $. #protectpublicschools #schoolvoucherscam

We're conservatives. Texas must stop starving its public schools. | Opinion https://t.co/Xulkgvqs1e

Texas' per-pupil funding is down 18% since 2019 -- despite the state's budget surplus. Students are struggling. https://t.co/YWsgqVDbXL

@SisterK4PE @VanceGinn @rab_ag @cw19841998 @sbellsnyder Not to mention how vital it is to lower/lower middle class families to have the scholarship opportunities that come with these extracurriculars.

[Desiree Venable @VenableForTx]

@VanceGinn @cw19841998 @rab_ag @sbellsnyder It would happen with school choice because school choice takes money from public education funding. A lack of funding equals the elimination of extracurricular programs. That is simple math.

[Desiree Venable @VenableForTx]

Ending extracurriculars isn’t the solution. These activities help kids develop life skills & provide scholarships to students that struggle financially, making higher education possible. I’ll fight to protect a comprehensive education. We must invest in our kids' futures.

[Vance Ginn @VanceGinn]

@rab_ag @sbellsnyder Maybe eliminate all the extracurricular nonsense, like varsity sports and electives, and just educate kids, which is the point of schooling. Simple really.

@satsuma_tx_all Thanks 💙

[Desiree Venable @VenableForTx]

@Ross_McGlothlin @satsuma_tx_all @LoneStarLeft Exactly. He’s right now doing a little district tour going to city council meetings claiming he wants to fight against the tax increase proposals in whatever city he’s in but keeps forgetting to tell people he’s supporting vouchers which will increase property taxes. #corrupt

Oil wells in Caldwell Co leaking dangerous levels of gas, putting our families at risk. Unacceptable.

As State Rep, I'll work with the RR Commission & Commission on Environmental Quality to enforce existing rules to address this. #StrongerTogether

@cameron_easley @MorningConsult Tx is more blue than people think. We just constantly hear it’s red and our side gets discouraged and doesn’t show up. A trick as old as time and it’s over. 2012 we lost by 16%, 2016 lost by 9%, 2020 lost by 5.5%. This is the year. #TurnTexasBlue

They found most pregnancy-related deaths were preventable & identified numerous changes that could improve rates

Unacceptable Tx should be funding/supporting maternal health while allowing med professionals to lead the way. Like how we should approach reproductive healthcare.

[Texas Women's Health Caucus @TXHouseWHC]

The Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Review Committee's 2024 report was released on 9/1. Many important takeaways, but #1 is - maternal mortality & morbidity rates are on the RISE. Please see Chair @DonnaHowardTX's statement below & read the report here https://t.co/CG2b99WjxT
