Editor’s note: Tomorrow is Election Day, and you have the opportunity to choose the people who will decide important policy questions and shape the future of Texas. Get thee to a voting booth! But before you go, take a look at the Texan editorial board’s election en- dorsements. We sent candidates questionnaires that focused on issues of higher education policy and used the answers to determine which candidates deserve your vote. Governor’s race:

Bill White (D):

We’ve had our qualms with the White campaign, but we believe he is the best can- didate for governor because he will look out for the interests of students. White pledg- es to make college more affordable by cutting down on textbook costs and offering de- creased tuition for students who commit to public service after college. White has also advocated for education reform on the West Mall by pushing for affordability and de- emphasizing standardized tests. White’s higher education plan is light on details, but at least he acknowledges the skyrocketing cost of tuition and the importance of affordability. Perry, on the other hand, has proved during his 10 years in office that protecting higher education in Tex- as is not a priority. He has repeatedly made cuts to UT’s funding and has refused to engage in debates or meet with editorial boards to discuss his plans for higher educa- tion. Based on the two candidates’ track records, the choice is clear: White for governor.

LEGALESE Illustration by Amelia Giller Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees. Central Austin State House of Representative Districts State senate candidates Mary Lou Serafine (R) Kirk Watson (D) Texan endorsement Kirk Watson has been a member of the Texas Senate since 2006, and as a member of the Senate Committee of Higher Education, we endorse him based on his track record of fighting for student initiatives. Watson has been a strong supporter of the TEXAS Grant program, which offers scholarship money for Texas college students, and he has consistently fought for sanity on the state board of education. Proposition 1: FOR

If passed, Proposition 1 will permit the city to issue $90 million in bonds to be spent on an impressive list of public works projects directed at improving path- ways for three types of transportation — car, bike and foot. With Proposition 1, Austin will take a necessary step for better roads, bike lanes, sidewalks and trails. What’s more, the improvements won’t raise taxes. Supporters estimate the construction work necessary to improve those pathways will create 200 jobs over a two- to three-year period. The downtown focus of many of the projects is lamentable given the need for improvements elsewhere in Austin, and similar- ly, many have justifiably cried foul over the emphasis on improving trails and walkways when road improvements, which are less flashy but more desperate- ly needed, go wanting. But the defining characteristic of the proposition is that it’s all-or-nothing. We’re for all. House district Candidates Texan endorsement Dawnna Dukes (D) The Daily Texan Editorial Board endorses Dawnna Dukes. 46 George E. Emery (L)

Democratic incumbent Donna Howard has proven her commitment to higher education. With an expected deficit of $25 billion, we need to Donna Howard (D) elect state representatives who are committed to improving higher education. Howard sits on the House Higher Education Committee, and she has authored a bill supporting the nonpartisan election of members of the State Board of Education, co-authored a bill that prohibits the 48 Dan Neil (R) investment of the Permanent University Fund in certain business entities doing business in Sudan and has supported the creation of the Na- tional University Research Fund. She has also expressed a commitment to maintaining TEXAS Grant funds. We believe Howard’s strong fo- cus on higher education makes her the best candidate for Texas House District 48.

Nathan Kleffman (L) 49 The Daily Texan Editorial Board endorses Elliott Naishtat. Elliott Naishtat (D)

State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez has presided over District 51 for the last eight years. We’re endorsing Rodriguez for a fifth term over his Repub- Marilyn Jackson (R) lican opponent, Marilyn Jackson. While Rodriguez comes with a blemished record — in spring of 2010 he was arrested for a DUI which was 51 later dismissed — we support his views on issues such as job creation, public transportation and education. In 2009, Rodriguez co-sponsored Eddie Rodriguez (D) bills that worked to exempt university and college textbooks from the sales tax.

Congressional district

Ted Ankrum (D) The Daily Texan Editorial Board has chosen not to give an endorsement for this race. Neither candidate returned questionnaires to the Texan nor have they shown a substantial commitment to higher education. 10 Michael McCaul (R)

In the 25 years he has represented UT students and Austinites in the Texas Senate, Texas Supreme Court and U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Lloyd Doggett has become as much of an Austin institution as Sixth Street, South By Southwest and unkempt beards — and for good reason. Doggett consistently represents the liberal policies that benefit Longhorns and helped earn Austin the reputation as a progressive Donna Campbell (R) oasis. On higher education, the former UT student body president has supported students, most significantly by proposing a $2,500 tuition tax credit in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and by strongly advocating for the Student Aid and Financial Responsibility Act, which simplified the stu- 25 Lloyd Doggett (D) dent loan process and allows for direct lending from the government. Doggett recently made news by attaching an amendment to an education funding bill requiring Gov. Rick Perry to assure state education funding will not decrease in the next three years in order for the state to receive $830 million in fed- eral education funds. While some claim the amendment is incompatible with the Texas constitution, Doggett forced Perry to address the issue and it is just the latest bold move in a career of unabashed advocacy for education and other progressive causes.

While the current recession has been especially hard for colleges and universities, Congress has stepped in and provided much need re- Lainey Melnick (D) form. The Higher Education Opportunity Act, passed in 2008, helped to increase student aid and imposed requirements to make schools more accountable for their spending. Rep. Lamar Smith supported the act and has since shown a commitment to issues of higher education, espe- 21 Lamar Smith (R) cially those concerning accessibility that affect thousands of his constituents. Smith has also worked to bring federal funding for research to Texas universities.

Over the past year, this state’s Board of Education has been an embarrassment, criticized both locally and nationally for its controversial at- Marsha Farney (R) tempts to redesign the state’s social studies curriculum. However, the problems with Texas public education go much deeper than any one State Board of Education subject. Republican candidate Marsha Farney has exhibited a commitment to fostering quality Texas schools. The next SBOE will need to not Judy Jennings (D) only re-evaluate changes to social studies curricula but will also need to improve Texas students’ scores in subjects such as mathematics, a curriculum subject that Farney has targeted for reform. Farney, who holds a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction, will help to restore public trust in the SBOE. We believe she is the best candidate for the position. 5 AD
