BARBARA CARGILL CONFIRMED AS CHAIR OF THE TEX. STATE BD. OF ED.

Barbara Cargill has just been confirmed by the full Texas Senate 23 to 0 to be the chair of the Texas State Board of Education to serve until Feb. 1, 2015.  First, we must give God thanks for His favor upon Barbara throughout this arduous process.

This is a tremendous victory for the grassroots citizens who made their voices heard to the Texas Senators, and we thank the 23 Senators who voted for Barbara. I do not know their names right now, but hopefully we can get those names for a follow-up article.

We also need to thank Gov. Rick Perry and the Senate Nominating Committee under Sen. Glenn Hegar who moved Barbara’s name out of committee and onto the floor of the Senate for the vote today.
