Blessed to read to third graders and present a proclamation to Kappa Alpha Psi at Red Duke Elementary today!

Texas has a top economy but ranks in the bottom half for education.…we. Wed to change that and I am grateful for everyone investing in our kids and their future!

One thing I haven’t heard talked about much since Tuesday’s election is the impact the school voucher debate may have had on voters.

My family and I homeschool our kids, and we intentionally chose NOT to apply for the voucher program.

I’m a big believer in education dollars following students and parents having the freedom to choose what’s best for their children. But I also have to ask… why should my family receive more in government education benefits than we pay in school taxes?

I’ve talked with countless teachers, and my own brother is a public school teacher. Our teachers and public schools are struggling, and they need our support.

Then you add concerns about transparency, accountability, and politically connected individuals benefiting from contracts tied to the voucher program, and I think Texans have every reason to be asking some serious questions.

I’m all for freedom, opportunity, and school choice. But we should be strengthening public education, not weakening it while politically connected people potentially benefit from taxpayer dollars.

I’m praying for Texas, for our leaders, and for what the future holds for our great state. I believe our best days can still be ahead of us, but we have to be willing to have these conversations and put people ahead of politics.
