Educators are turning out the vote!

Have you voted early yet?
Take advantage of shorter lines and more polling places by voting this week. Early voting ends Friday evening, and the primary election day is Tuesday. Remember that most races in Texas are decided by the outcomes of the primaries and not the general election in November. Now is the time to make sure educators' voices are heard!
