Voters in Texas agree on key issues affecting the future of the state such as education,...
A poll by Texas 2036 shows 71 percent of Texas voters said the state needs to care enough about how much all students are learning to measure their progress with standardized testing.Schoolchildren across Texas are falling short at the basics, such as reading at grade level. And voters across Texas — no matter their party, ethnicity, income or hometown — are worried.
With each of Texas’ 181 legislative seats and every statewide office on the ballot in the March 1 primary and November elections, these results provide elected officials with reliable data on the issues that voters see as most critical.For example, voters in Houston were more concerned about crime increasing in their community than those in Dallas. Younger voters were more worried than others about housing or rent payments.
We can’t afford to allow voters’ concerns about these everyday issues to fester or for pessimism to take hold. For our state to be the best place to live and work, we must look at voters’ frank assessment of where we are today and develop strategies to do better.
