Issue Position: Fully Funding Our Public Schools

Issue Position

Trey knows firsthand the importance of education and the effect it can have on a family. Trey graduated from Holmes High School and was the first in his family to graduate from college, later graduating from the University of Texas School of Law.

Known for his strong negotiating skills, in 2013 Trey was selected by the Speaker of the House to work out a budget compromise with the Senate, where he was able to secure nearly $4 billion more for public education.

And this past spring, when the Legislature passed a budget that left Texas students underfunded, Trey voted against it - citing the cuts passed by the Texas Senate and the damaging effects that they would have for our schools.

Trey has on multiple occasions been recognized by educational organizations such as the Texas Classroom Teachers Association for his hard work for our schools, earning awards including the "Friend of Education" and "Legislative Star" awards.
