Investing in our teachers, students, and neighborhood schools has to be a top priority for the state and I will continue to make this my top priority in Austin. Last legislative session I coauthored House Bill 3, which invested $11 billion in our public education.
I believe we need to increase teacher pay, provide additional training and support for our teachers, and fully fund all day Pre-K. These are all areas where we need improvements and where our spending should be concentrated. We still have much work to do to improve our public education.
