I am fully committed to providing an #excellent education to every child in #Texas. A great #education will change a childs life, and as State Representative, I am fighting to improve public education funding in our states budget. #txlege https://t.co/IfnJ38nleO
I’m proud to announce that HB 2554 has passed on second reading in the House. This bill creates a career and technical education program which will make it easier for high school juniors and seniors to receive a trade credential before they graduate. #txlege #hb2554 https://t.co/anS7dBxUNy

Im a strong advocate for greater vocational education in our high schools. Our students need skills that lead to good paying jobs, so that they can enter the workforce and provide for their families. https://t.co/uNm4f9dGD5
I banned critical race theory, a radical ideology that divides our children based on skin color. I will continue working to improve the quality of education while keeping extremist rhetoric out of our classrooms. Early voting is open through Feb 25: https://t.co/kbqiw4n7Mk https://t.co/kJe3UpkadA

Our retired public school teachers have dedicated their lives to serving our kids and setting them up for the best future possible. This special session, one of our priorities is delivering a supplemental 13th check for our deserving retired educators. https://t.co/N7xSJgd5ce
