Vote for Education

VOTE FOR YOURSELF!

As a Texas teacher, you know that state education policies can make or break your ability to teach and your students’ ability to succeed. If you want changes, you need to vote for education — for yourself — in the upcoming elections.

The March 3 primary elections are crucial, and you shouldn’t miss this opportunity to be heard. With more than 370,000 teachers in Texas voting together, your teacher voice can be POWERFUL! You can take advantage of early voting Feb. 17-27 — click here to find polling locations and hours in your area (you’ll be asked to enter information to check your registration status first).

TCTA doesn’t endorse candidates, so we don’t provide our members with a slate of names to vote for. But at Texas Teachers Vote, you can find information on the candidates for the Texas House, Texas Senate, and State Board of Education seats in your area. We encourage you to look at the candidates’ websites to see their education stances, and if they were a legislator last session, check out the voting records on key issues that we’ve provided.

Several important statewide races are on the ballot this year, including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller. There also are races for U.S House of Representatives and a U.S. Senate seat.

Learn more about the candidates and find your personalized ballot at the League of Women Voters website, vote411.org.
