John — In both the trauma bay and the Air Force, I learned that to find solutions, we need to focus on the cold, difficult facts. So here’s the reality:
Our state is 28th in the nation in education. When compared to other states, we spend roughly $4,000 less than the national average on per-pupil spending. 53.5% of our students are at risk of dropping out, and our teachers are paid $7,000 less than the national average.
Our students and teachers are struggling while gun violence threatens their safety and extremist politicians push their political agenda in the classroom.
The problem is not our students, or our hard-working teachers. These issues are a direct consequence of failed leadership.
I know these problems can be fixed, and I am more than ready to work on tangible solutions in Washington. But my campaign needs your support to win in 2024. If you’re ready to rebuild our education system, you can go ahead and make a donation of $10 today >>

As a proud graduate of the public school system and father of a school age daughter, I know how important it is to invest in our public schools.
That’s why in Congress, I will fight for proven solutions, like universal pre-K., increased funding for public K-12 schools in Texas, and higher wages for teachers.
But I can only do that if our campaign has the resources to win next November. This campaign is a team effort, we need all of our supporters to chip in where they can. That’s why I hope today you’ll make a donation of $10 or whatever you can afford >>

Onward,
