Texas Comptroller Election to Impact $1 Billion School Voucher Fund

The election for Texas' next comptroller is a critical factor for the state's $1 billion school voucher program, known as Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA). The current comptroller, appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott, has expressed support for potentially doubling the program's budget in the 2028-29 biennium, a move opposed by his leading Democratic opponent.
