A Deep-Dive with Senatorial Candidate Dr. Merrie Fox

In this episode of "Conversations From The Hill Country," host Adam West sits down with Dr. Merrie Fox, a seasoned educator and Democratic candidate for Texas Senate District 25. We talk about the enduring and oft-controversial subjects surrounding Texas's education system, including the proposed voucher bill, school funding, and public school indoctrination fears.

Our discussion includes the alarming trend of diminishing public school libraries, the adverse effects of static school funding, and the controversial topic of school vouchers.

We also talk about school safety measures, specifically the proposal of arming teachers, and hear a first-hand account from Dr. Fox, a former principal staunchly opposed to such measures. Also, get a glimpse of Dr. Fox's principled stance on practical firearm regulation and her critique of fear mongering tactics disrupting sensible legislation.

Other topics include serious environmental concerns haunting Texas, including the degradation of water systems and the faults within the energy sector, particularly ERCOT.
