There have been a lot of comparisons of Texas vs California. Whether you look at job growth, economic growth, the state of the State finances, the clear conclusion is that the Texas has outperformed California on most economic success measures in the past 10 years. 

Today, Texas celebrates Juneteenth. On June 19th, 1865, Union General Granger declared the end of slavery. The Juneteenth holiday is the earliest and first holiday that celebrates emancipation. See this history of the holiday.

Enjoy today's celebration of freedom.

We all agree that bullying can be a problem in schools. Bullying and related problems such a gang activity, drugs and juvenile delinquency, arise in schools when there is insufficient discipline or oversight of students. In some cases, children are bringing problems from home to the school. Some schools end up overwhelmed, and the result is a poor environment for learning.

Our campaign team effort is standing up for freedom and our values and fighting for a better future for Texas.

We will be having several neighborhood receptions this month, and neighbors and supporters are welcome to attend. RSVP to attend or sponsor to campaign@patmcguinness.org.
