State Rep. Brian Harrison: "The Texas House is a corrupt den of liberal dysfunction... and has spent more time honoring Beyonce than on any conservative policy like ending property taxes or DEI in schools."

State Rep. Wes Virdell: "The best thing a school can do to prevent losing students is to create an environment that parents want. If they do that, which several public schools have, then they won't lose students."

Senator Ted Cruz: "Abolish the IRS."

State Senator Charles Schwertner: "We passed Senate Bill 2, a powerful step toward empowering parents to make educational decisions that best reflect their children's needs. This program will improve access and promote competition to ultimately provide a quality education for all Texas students!"
