Public Education Candidate Forums (Spring 2024)
Raise Your Hand Texas hosts a series of statewide public education candidate forums to allow Texans to educate themselves on the issues and be informed voters before election day. The candidate forums are specifically geared toward education topics and let participants know where candidates stand on some of the most pressing issues facing our public schools. Organized and hosted by our Regional Advocacy Directors, each event invites all candidates running for the Texas Legislature or a run-off election in their respective region. All candidates on the ballot for the district are invited to participate, and no candidates are endorsed.
These Public Education Candidate Forums were presented by Raise Your Hand Texas and organized by its Regional Advocacy Directors. These forums featured candidates for Texas House or Senate seats with all candidates on the ballot invited to participate in order to present their stances on education issues to their respective communities. Recordings of the forums, including any portion of these, may not be used in political advertisements.
The following candidate events were taped prior to the 2024 Primary elections.
