Educators are turning out the vote!

Have you voted early yet?
Take advantage of shorter lines and more polling places by voting this week. Early voting ends Friday evening, and the primary election day is Tuesday. Remember that most races in Texas are decided by the outcomes of the primaries and not the general election in November. Now is the time to make sure educators' voices are heard!
ATPE State President Cory Colby shows off his "I Voted" sticker!
Michelle Pittman voted with a helper. Hands-on learning for a future voter!
"I Voted" stickers are a great fashion accessory. Just ask Mary Reyes!
Jerry and Frankie Jarrell show off their pair of "I Voted" stickers, too. It's another beautiful day to get out and vote!
