In 2021, Mr. Evers led an initiative to have a nonpartisan commission create new maps of state legislative districts.

Greg Abbott in the GOP primary, campaigned in support of private school vouchers. “I will never support vouchers.”Rep. John Bucy III said he will continue to oppose private school vouchers.
