(The Center Square) – After Republicans swept many state legislative seats on Election Day, Gov. Greg Abbott said he had more than enough votes to pass school choice in the next legislative session. That and property tax reform, he’s said, are his top priorities for the Texas legislature to consider when they convene in January.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick also announced that school choice was the Texas Senate’s top priority.
