Issue Position: First Class Education--Preparing the Next Generation for Jobs

Issue Position

Bobby Guerra has fought in Austin to bring projects to our area that will benefit people's lives for generations. Guerra co-authored legislation that brought the new medical school to McAllen, so Rio Grande Valley residents have advanced learning opportunities. The University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley connects Cameron and Hidalgo County; this institution provides more jobs and educational opportunities for our children and families; transform the Rio Grande Valley's education system, provide new research institutions, and be home to a first-class medical school. The new medical school will ensure the Valley meets the growing need for doctors and health care providers for a growing population, while providing critical access and care to the uninsured.

Bobby battled to put $3.4 billion dollars back into our state's public schools, helping us keep good teachers on the payroll. Guerra knows the importance of keeping class sizes small, creating more career education programs, and ensuring every child is prepared to go to college or enter the workplace.
