Candidates
At Teach the Vote, a nonpartisan voter education project of the Association of Texas Professional Educators, visitors can research the education stances of candidates and officeholders, including Texas legislators, members of the State Board of Education, and certain statewide officials. The officeholder profiles you can find on our site include education-related voting records for existing lawmakers, responses to ATPE’s candidate surveys, additional information, and links to external resources where you can learn more about the officeholders’ views on public education and other issues. Learn more about ATPE’s candidate survey and the issues that are most important to ATPE members.
