@Toth_4_Texas @GregAbbott_TX Ignorance is a curse. Gov nor Speaker have influence on my voucher stance which has held strong before, during, and after your photo. When Gov staff asks you to introduce him in your district, it's the courteous thing to do. Ask me what the intro speech said before I edited it.
