Julie Pickren Testimony - Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs

Texas State Board of Education Member, representing District 7 (2.5 million people) - "Constituents of the District 7 counties elected me to ensure parents' rights are protected and children are provided an excellent education in accordance with state law... "hard-earned tax dollars are being used to advocate for rules and policies that take away parent's God-given rights to make decisions for their children. It is time we take away the power from taxpayer-funded lobbyists in Austin and Washington D.C. and give power back to parents, local taxpayers, and their elected officials. God Bless Texas."
