3. What surprised me about the Texas government process
are the interest groups. I was not aware of the amount of
influence these groups had in our government. It was
interesting to learn that Political parties and Interest
groups work together and compete for influence.
Another thing that surprised me was the death penalty. I
did not know that Texas is the number one state with the
most carried out executions in the United States. It just
proves how strict the Texas criminal justice is.

4. One political issue that I believe is the most important
to consider for future generations in Texas is Public
Education. The biggest problems facing public
educations in Texas are:
• Low teacher pay
• Public school system funding
• Public education financing
• Unequal resources among schools
• School accountability

5. Texas influences the federal government in a
major way. With its huge population and affective
policies, Texas has shaped federal policy and the
U.S. economy

6. I learned a lot about our government processes in
this class this semester and one thing that I will
carry forward in my life was learning about my local
government. It was surprising to learn about the
leaders and the political participants in my city.
