As you probably know, the elections upcoming in 2024 will be critical for public education in Texas. However, please don’t assume that you can worry about that right before the general election in November. Please make sure that you are registered to vote (you can find information on registration here: https://www.votetexas.gov/register-to-vote/update-voterregistration.htmldeadline or by calling 1-800-252-VOTE. The deadline to register is Monday, February 5th. Once you are registered, get informed about candidates for state office and make a plan to vote in the primary elections on March 5th, 2024 (early voting begins February 20th). You can find more information about candidates at the following sites: • TexasEducatorsVote.com • TeachtheVote.org • TexasTeachersVote.org • League of Women Voters – LWV-TX Voters Guide In most places in our state, the primary elections actually determine the ultimate winner so if your voice is going to be heard, it MUST begin with voting in the primary election. In Texas, anyone can vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary regardless of how you have voted in the past, or how you intend to vote in November’s general election. Our goal should be to choose candidates who will represent their constituents and our schools well, regardless of party affiliation.
