ART is proud to endorse Gary VanDeaver for the runoff election in Texas House District 1.

Early Voting is May 20 - May 24.
Election Day is May 28.

'It's unfortunate we're in a position where we're not allowed to vote our district. And to be honest with you, when I can no longer vote my district, I really don't have a lot of interest in continuing to serve.'

Gary VanDeaver on the primary politics of Abbott's ESA push:

May the wonder of His birth fill your heart with unending PRAISE! #txlege
