The Texas Primary Runoff Election is May 24th, and early voting is May 16th-20th.
There are many important elections on the ballot, including three statewide offices, a Texas Senate election, and over a dozen Texas House of Representatives races.
Anyone who was registered to vote by April 25th, 2022, and voted in the Republican primary first round or did not vote at all is eligible to vote in these elections. Those who voted in the Democratic primary are not eligible to vote in the Republican primary runoff, nor are those who voted in the Republican primary eligible to vote in the Democratic primary runoff.
Voter turnout in these elections will very likely be extremely low, and therefore those who do participate will have an outsized influence on the results. The results will have a huge impact on the future of the parental rights battle that is raging across the country and Texas.
As amazing as it may seem, many people in our society today do not believe that parents have a God-given right to direct the care, control, and upbringing of their children, especially as it relates to education.
Some officials even blatantly say that parents should not have the authority to decide on curriculum and other key elements of public education.
There is also a growing movement that believes that funding for education should follow the child rather than be simply given to local bureaucracies. That could be an issue in next year’s legislative session and will likely be decided on the outcome of this Republican primary runoff.
The homeschool community in Texas has grown in political influence in large part because of our willingness to turn out to vote in these kinds of elections. I strongly urge you to vote in these elections and support candidates who agree with us that parents have a God-given right to make decisions for their children’s education.
Go to THSC.org/endorsements to find a list of the candidates that we have vetted and interviewed and endorsed based on their agreement with us.
Please share this information with your family and friends and encourage them to do likewise. It is not an understatement to say that our freedom could depend on the outcome of these elections.
