Gerrymandering and public education: the importance of flipping the Texas House


Public education, school accountability, and local control are key issues for Democratic candidate Michelle Williams (TX-127). Here, Williams discusses concerns about state takeovers of public school districts, pointing to Spring ISD’s recent experience and arguing that parents across District 127 are paying close attention to what happened in Houston ISD. Williams also says the race for Texas House District 127 is important because of the legislature’s role in shaping public education policy and drawing political district lines. Watch as she explains why she believes the future of public schools is one of the most important issues facing voters in this election.
