Freshmen Texas Lawmakers Ready to Battle over Abortion, Education... even the Lottery

from Y'all-itics · host WFAA

They don't even have the keys to their Capitol offices yet, or access to the computer system to file bills. But two incoming Texas Representatives have lofty goals. One is pushing for a total ban on abortion and penalties for women who end their pregnancies. The other aims to strengthen public schools and stop the Republican march toward a private school voucher system. But they both agree that the first battle of picking a new House Speaker is a horse race and that Democrats, long in the minority here, will have outsized influence in choosing a winner. How that goes will impact what does, and doesn't, get done in this once-every-two-years legislative session. GUESTS Representative-elect Brent Money, R-Greenville Representative-elect Aicha Davis, D-DeSoto
