Call To Action:
Meet Eliz:
Before you read about Eliz and her awesome credentials and what her vision is for the Texas School Board of Education, I want to tell you a little bit about Eliz and the office she is running for.
I have had the honor and pleasure of talking with Eliz on numerous occassions, and lack of better words, I'm pretty much blown away by this lady running for office. Eliz is the real deal when it comes to progressive and innovative ideas for education in the state of Texas.
On top of that, she is hilarious! She is fun to talk to and keeps me on my toes. She is the type of person I would want for my teacher for every subject from 1st through 12th grade. Not that she would be a fun teacher; not at all. Eliz is down to earth practical as well as having a good knowledge on how children should be taught and disciplined. Eliz is not only very intelligent, but is quite compassionate. She has the know how to talk to folks on their level without exercising her vast knowledge.
I met Eliz this past weekend at the Texas State Democratic Convention, and I can tell, she is ready to kick butt and take names... Especially Betsy DeVille!
From Eliz:
I am running for the Texas State Board of Education – District 7 because I can no longer sit idly by and watch the system fail the students, parents, and educators it intends to serve. Having spent the majority of my life as a student in Texan institutions, and roughly half my life as an educator of Texan students, I have a unique perspective regarding the good, bad, and the ugly of our state’s education system.
Unfortunately, as individuals with no professional background in education have taken control of the Texas public education system, the quality of Texas education has declined. Indeed, Texas currently ranks 41st in the nation when it comes to public education—and there is nothing stopping its continual decline. Not only will I promote issues that matter to students and parents, but I will also advocate on behalf of educators and stakeholders to ensure that all parties benefit from necessary changes to the Texas public education system.
I need your help! In order to run a successful campaign, it is imperative that I have the support of individuals and organizations that promote education that prepares students for either skilled-trade or higher education. To date, I have traveled throughout southeast Texas and met with a wide variety of individuals who support high-quality, publicly funded education for all Texans.
However, I cannot run this campaign alone, which is why I’m reaching out to those people and organizations that believe in my campaign to help make a difference. Your gift of $50, $100, $250, or $500 will not only allow us to purchase campaign materials such as flyers, yard signs, and advertising, but it will also allow us to purchase access to the Voter Action Network so that we can get out the vote to known pro-education voters.
I hope that you will stand with me as I work to reform our public education system so that it benefits all Texans.
All the best,
Dr. Eliz Markowitz
