Democrats, always seen as the greatly lagging party in Texas, but actually, for nearly one hundred years, they were the dominant party in Texas. Also, South Texas seems to continue being highly democratic, its reasons why are still unknown. Some sociologists have theorized that it is due to the outstanding number of minorities; but no confirmations have been made. The only thing I am grateful for is that there is one guy running.

Democrats

Chris Bell

Chris Bell's first and foremost issue is rebuilding public education. He begins by stating "By some estimates, the dropout rate in Texas public schools now tops 40%. We do such a poor job retaining quality teachers that fewer than half of all certified teachers in Texas are still in working in the classroom. By any standard, this system is broken." his second statement is an attack on Rick Perry that says that his taxes on various products in order to help plug the funding gap for education. He states that we need to create a bipartisan commission that will bring all sides to the table to seek real solutions and common ground. He addresses the issue of ceasing the partisan censorship of Textbooks. To sum up his issues on public school reform Chris Bell states "Texas deserves the best public education system in the country, but we won't achieve this goal until we stop letting politics constantly interfere with the process."
Chris Bell also plans to make Higher education a priority of his. [he has a huge page for it, but luckily he made it easy for me to sum up]

Higher Education in Texas: An Agenda For Opportunity
Ending tuition deregulation to keep college affordable for middle class families.
Giving our public universities the state funding they need to remain world-class.
Giving students a break at the bookstore by making textbooks tax-free.
Vigorously defending the TEXAS Grant program and other initiatives to make a college degree accessible to all Texans willing to put in the hard work.
Recognize the role community colleges fill in our state's economic development.

He also wants to give our national guardsmen a tuition grant, based on the bill, H.B. 2691, the Rick Noriega Military Assistance Act. This legislation would grant tuition exemptions to guardsmen attending state colleges and universities.
Chris Bell states that he is advently for protecting children and helping those who are child abuse caseworkers. For more information see his issues page.
Chris Bell also states he wants to fight for Rural Texas, he states that there is a rising problem of Meth amphetamine production and use in Rural Texas, and as leader, he would stop it.
Chris Bell is for the research of stem cells. He also wants to expand Home ownership
And finally, he wants to find common ground with the republicans, he states that he is tired of being stuck in this partisan trench.

So that's it, those are your candidates for Texas governor. I suggest you go and read more about them, send them emails, ask questions. And finally make a decision. For the meantime....hehe kinky.
