Republican Brandon Hall and Democrat Rayna Glasser will face off Nov. 5 in a race for the Texas State Board of Education’s District 11 seat. Early voting begins Oct. 21.
The winner will represent parts of northeast Tarrant County and all of Parker, Somervell and Hood counties.
Hall, a 28-year-old Fort Worth pastor, unseated longtime board member Pat Hardy in the Republican primary in March. Glasser, a teacher in the Crowley school district, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Glasser is running on a platform of reforming state assessment requirements and creating separate graduation tracks for students headed to college, the military or the workforce. Hall, who didn’t respond to our candidate questionnaire, has emphasized parental rights, the elimination of critical race theory from Texas schools and promoting Christian values in education. He’s also expressed support for a voucher-like plan backed by Gov. Greg Abbott, which Glasser opposes.
