The people, not professional politicians, know best.

The governor's tax increase plan does not work.

A leader does not let nine sessions go by and now a tenth without a long term fix with cutting property tax and money going into educate for our teacher and for our classrooms.

I want to debate him anytime, anyplace, anywhere. He ought to be here today to let the people hear where we are in education.

We've got to be honest. We've got to say out loud we need more dollars for education and we also need more of the education dollars going directly into the classroom with the teachers.

I shall die a Texas independent. I think that this governor has so politically fractured this state that the only way to get something done is to set aside the partisan politics.
