Katy Huebner endorsed by Texas State Teachers Association-PAC

The Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA) this week announced its endorsement of a strong advocate of public education and public school employees, Katy Hubener, in the February special election for the District 106 seat vacated by the resignation of Ray Allen.

"I appreciate the support of Texas teachers in this special election," Hubener said. "They work hard and expect their elected representatives to work hard, too. I will."

Hubener, who has an undergraduate degree in education from Texas Tech University and is a certified Texas classroom teacher, said the special election should focus on one issue: who will represent the mainstream values of the community in this spring's special legislative session on public school finance.

"It's critical that we stabilize the current tax system so that we can afford to pay teachers what they're worth," Hubener said. "I know firsthand that no profession is more important to our future."

TSTA President Donna Haschke urged voters who value public schools and their children¹s education to turn out for Hubener in the February 28, special election.

"Katy will continue to be a strong voice for improving the salary and benefits of active and retired public school employees," Haschke said.

"We need someone who will fight to stop those who want to take our tax dollars away from public schools to pay for the private education of a privileged few to attend private schools," Haschke said. "Katy will work to provide our public schools the funding they need to give all our children an opportunity to succeed."
