Elizabeth is a senior at Grayson College majoring in Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher. She is motivated to get involved in politics due to her unhappiness with decisions made regarding DACA and wanting to better how the government is ruled. Some key things she learned include how Texas law enforcement works, how oil transformed Texas agriculture, and finding the death penalty issue most interesting to study in depth. The death penalty will continue to be a controversial issue in Texas, which has a top rate of executions. Texas also has an influential role in shaping federal government policy due to the rules and standards it sets that other states do not always share.

Cade Medlin is majoring in Kinesiology. He wants to become more politically active in Texas to help educate himself on the state's political system and influence community decisions, as Texas has become more politically split in recent elections.

She learned about the pros and cons of social media in politics, how interest groups work, and about former Texas Governor Rick Perry and his achievements. She believes education is an important political issue that needs more funding and support. Rachel also learned that Texas plays a major role in the national economy and immigration due to its border with Mexico. The most important lesson she learned is that her voice matters and citizens have more power and control than she realized to get involved in the political process.
Texas
Jesse Cedillo is a general studies major hoping to transfer to UNT this fall. Through learning about political issues in Texas, Jesse was surprised to learn that the death penalty is used infrequently now and drugs for lethal injection are running out. Voter turnout is very low across Texas and the country. Texas government has taken steps to ensure it remains limited. Third party support in Texas is larger than expected. The main education problem in Texas is lack of funding and resources for teachers and schools, which hurts students' success and the state overall. Due to population changes, Texas could become less reliably Republican as more Democrats move there from other states.

However this issue will always be a hard subject that will be carry out. For the future the subject will be one that for generations to come it can change or continue to be the same.
- 6. TEXAS INFLUENCE • I believe that Texas is one of the most influential states when it comes to the federal government. • Texas is one of the states that gets together to form the influence that will be brought to the federal government. • If we look back we can see that Texas is one of the states with rules that some other states don’t have which are harsh.
