Pledge for Officials

Elected leaders throughout Texas are thinking ahead about what our state needs to thrive.

If you are a community official or a candidate for office, we invite you to join in the campaign for our state's future. You can also read a message from one state official on why he took the pledge: here.

To Put Kids 1^stis to work to keep Texas:
