Ashley Bean Thornton Announces Run for Texas House District 56

WACO, Texas - Rezul -- Ashley Bean Thornton, longtime community leader and advocate for public schools is officially running to represent Texas House District 56.

"I am running because I believe our legislature is off track when it comes to public schools. Our students – our future workers, leaders, voters -- are too important to let that continue." says Thornton.

"In this last session our legislators found time to pass a bill requiring the 10 Commandments in every classroom – but did not find time to make meaningful improvements to the STAAR accountability system.  They decided to give a billion dollars to basically unregulated private schools and then regulated the money they gave to our public schools so tightly that our schools are still struggling to pay for what works best for the kids in their district. This last legislature's priorities were out of sync with what is best for our kids and our communities.  We could be doing so much better.  We could have the best schools in the country and we would all be better off for it.  Let's do that."

In addition to public schools, Thornton is focused on supporting workers, "Most of us are workers. We work better when we don't have to worry about life necessities like healthcare, childcare and transportation. Policies that keep the cost of living within reach and protect working people against financial ruin help more of us stay on the path to the American Dream. That means better communities for all of us."

Thornton brings experience in public ed, higher ed, small business and the corporate world to her campaign. Known for her signature red hi-tops, her fair-minded approach to controversial issues, and her commitment to building up the Waco community, she is committed to listening to her neighbors in District 56 and representing them with an eye toward, as she says, "working together to build the Texas we want."
