Yesterday, a bipartisan coalition in the Texas House defeated Greg Abbott’s school voucher scam. Again.
Abbott and his backers tried to confuse Texans by renaming this scheme “Education Savings Accounts.” But Texans didn’t buy it. Folks knew that it was a scam to reroute money from public schools into the pockets of wealthy families so they could get a discount on private schools they could already afford.
John, whether it’s in Texas or Washington, D.C. I will ALWAYS fight for our teachers and students. I’m proud to have played a part in this hard-won victory, but the fight isn’t over - the governor called us right back for another session.
Our public schools aren’t a political football, and taxpayer money doesn’t exist to pad the pockets of Abbott’s wealthy donors.
The bottom line?
Don’t mess with Texas public schools.
Thanks for standing with me,
Julie
I'm Julie Johnson, and I'm running for Congress in Texas’s 32nd District. Holding this seat is crucial in House Democrats’ fight to win back the majority.
Now is the time to elect an experienced and effective leader, with a record of delivering real results for Texans, who is ready to fight for you on day one.
