  • Parents Rights and School Choice. Parents should be the ultimate decision makers of their kids' educations. Mike May supports School Choice. Texas should increase the number of charter schools available to parents because charter schools produce better academic results than regular public schools. Parents rights! Los derechos de los padres son importantes! Los padres deben de tomar la ultima decision en la educación de sus hijos. El estado de Texas debería incrementar el numero de escuelas charter disponibles a los padres ya que las escuelas charter producen mejores resultados académicos que las escuelas publicas.
  • Gas Prices. You are paying $4.80/gallon for gasoline because of elite democrat party decisions. Los Precios de la Gasolina. Está pagando $4.80/galón de gasolina debido a las decisiones de los demócratas.
  • Crime. Crime has been skyrocketing in Harris County because democrat Judges have a policy of letting violent felony suspects out of jail on $0.00 bonds (free). We did not have this problem until democrats took over government. El Crímen. El crímen ha aumentado en el condado de Harris debido a los jueces Demócratas que estan liberando criminales violentos fuera de la carcel bajo fianzas de $0.00. No teníamos esta problema hasta que los Demócratas tomaron el gobierno.
Mike May cares deeply about kids' educations in math, science, reading, and writing. An education is the ticket to a brighter future. And kids’ educations are important to the future of our country. But regular public schools are failing to educate more than half of all kids. The number of kids failing math in Cy-Fair ISD right now could fill every seat in Minute Maid Park!

Mike May supports School Choice and Parents Rights. Parents must be the ultimate decision makers in their kids lives. This includes what schools their kids attend and the curriculum. Mike May wants to help all kids by bringing charter schools to Cy-Fair and Katy so all kids have a ticket to a brighter future. Even Houston ISD has over 30 publicly-funded charter schools. And the line of parents wanting to enroll their kids in those charter schools is always a mile long.

Mike May wants to help your kids with math, science, reading, and writing so they have a brighter future.
