The May election season marathon is almost over, and the finish line is in sight! Early voting for the Texas Primary Runoff Elections is underway this week. You can vote early through Friday, May 20th and Election Day is Tuesday, May 24th. It is hard to overstate how important these elections really are and how low voter turnout often is. EVERY VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Please get out to vote and bring your eligible friends, family, and community members with you. Voting will only take a few minutes of your time but the people who get elected will make hundreds of decisions affecting the 5.5 million Texas public school students for years to come. Feel your power as you cross the finish line!
