Governor Abbott tells us he’s still evaluating the data from one of his top priorities - school choice vouchers, allowing families to use public dollars on private and home schools.
He says at this moment it’s “impossible to tell” whether they will expand it or not next year.

BIG: @GregAbbott_TX endorses @natesheetsforTX over incumbent @MillerForTexas for Agriculture Commissioner.
NEW: Governor Abbott endorses @natesheetsforTX for Agriculture Commissioner!
Nate is a principled leader, who is committed to fighting for the best interests of Texas agriculture, upholding the rule of law, and restoring integrity to the Office of the Commissioner.
He is a Texas-first trade candidate who is laser-focused on producing clean food for Texans and strengthening labor security to protect our border and our ag economy.
Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who is focused on promoting Texas Agriculture, with zero tolerance for criminality. Nate Sheets is the true conservative champion for the job and is the leader we need to keep Texas the global powerhouse in agriculture.

Great interview with Chancellor @CreightonForTX and @PhilPrazan on @TexasTechFB and NIL. One note, though: let’s stop reducing @CodyC64 to just a “billionaire.” He’s the Chairman of the Board of Regents, a former Red Raider offensive lineman under Mike Leach, and the leader we need to fight for the long-term health of college athletics. piped.video/-9SlUN22NYU?si=GsS6…
