TEXAS MIDTERM 2026
WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
Your State Board of Education member — elected by district, not statewide — helps set what every Texas public school is required to teach.
WHO’S RUNNING
Allison Bush
Democrat
In fourth grade, Bush couldn't read. A teacher figured out it was dyslexia and refused to give up on her — and that one teacher is the reason she graduated, went to college, and has spent 25 years in Texas classrooms doing the same for other kids.
Mica Arellano
Republican
A 30-year Texas educator running to shape what a million students learn.
