Texas’ school voucher program could be “unrecognizable, if not extinct,” says Democratic lawmaker

The Democratic takeover of the Texas House signals potential trouble for Governor Greg Abbott's school voucher program, which had enjoyed strong support within his party. This shift is partly due to Republican voters in rural areas expressing discontent over the program, traditionally a keystone of Abbott’s agenda. Democratic lawmakers are now poised to scrutinize the program, suggesting it could be significantly altered or even dismantled. This change is significant as it reflects broader shifts in voter sentiment and could reshape education funding in the state.
