Waco, TX – According to the state officials, this amazing event was reportedly packed with over 350 parents, students, educators, and parent empowerment advocates in Houston. 

The Governor was joined by Gallery Furniture Owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, two-time World Heavyweight Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist George Foreman, The R.O.C.K. Founder and Senior Pastor Dr. Dana Carson, The Imani School Founding Head and Executive Director Patricia Williams, Booker T. Washington Initiative Director Dr. Richard Johnson, Texas Public Policy Foundation Campaign Director Mandy Drogin, and other parent empowerment advocates.

Governor Abbott released the following statement:

“The time for school choice is now in the great state of Texas. Texas wants to see all of our children well-educated—and the best way to do it is by empowering parents to choose the best education option for their child.

We can have the best of both worlds by fully funding public education and school choice—and in the best of both worlds, mom and dad are in charge of their kids.

Our kids should have access to the number one education system in the United States, and we will do that by empowering parents and passing school choice this session.”
