    There is strong support for teacher pay raises, fixing the teacher pension & healthcare plans, reforming school finance & eliminating the Robin Hood school finance scheme that has failed our students. We’ll get it done. I’m also a big fan of @crufootball.https://twitter.com/JChadHammonds/status/1024498578847358976 …

    Will you respond to republican voters who want to see more money given to education? I for one am thinking of voting @BetoORourke instead of @tedcruz because of education funding. Seriously, any response??

        Unfortunately, I don't believe you. You are saying the right things, but I don't think you have any desire to make this happen. You will continue to hinder public ed. You are not a supporter of us or our children. You and your buddy @DanPatrick need to go. #blockvote

        Exactly wants to push the raises off on public schools that are already underfunded...school that already pay over base wouldn’t have to offer raise.

        Great. What is your action plan? Which current front line educators have you met with? What local school board officials have you spoken with? How many retired teachers have you met with? How much money have you received from the voucher groups? Why the inequality ERS vs TRS?

        @GregAbbott_TX, your choice of words deserves close scrutiny. You give no explicit commitment to *increased* funding for public ed. You never say who will fund teacher pay raises or how you intend to reform school finance. What, exactly, will you "get [...] done?"

        What's your plan to fix the TRS Fiasco? Shouldn't teachers have it as good as you do and the rest of the state's employees that are under ERS? Your response and consideration would be taken better by voters than utter and blatant indifference...

        So do something about it, Governor @GregAbbott_TX! I’ve been waiting for #TxLege to step it up for #txed teachers, districts, and students for a couple of decades, and you never come through. Too focused on sending $$ to privatization special interest groups!

        @GregAbbott_TX Unfortunately, that strong support does not come from you. I know your power as Texas Governor is limited but you could do so much more. I hope you realize that “true Conservatives” have gone way too far right.

        In light of your past actions, how about a stronger statement such as, “I support and will champion robust funding for public schools and educators.”

        It should never have gotten this bad. #txlege is letting down its teachers by underfunding and burdening cities with making up the difference thru higher prop taxes. There isn't strong support from you, Dan Patrick, et al. I, as a Republican, am very dissappointed.
