I don't have anything against the man personally, I'm sure he's very nice. But we need to put an educator in the position of Texas Education Agency Commissioner. I will wipe clean all of Greg Abbott's corrupt vendor contracts and use that [money] to pay our teachers to be amongst the highest pay in the nation. I will pause the A through F accountability system, which is based on a rigged star test, And call on the legislature to deliver a bill to my desk to bring true accountability to our public schools. (14:49–14:55)
