To prepare its members for the upcoming election season, the Williamson County Retired Teachers Association held its fourth biennial candidate forum during the Oct. 11 association meeting at the Taylor Independent School District Event Center.
The forum showcased issues the association listed as priorities for the 89th Legislative Session — such as Social Security and retirement funds — in addition to classroom and curriculum policy. The session convenes Jan. 14.
The panel, the largest one the association has hosted, included congressional candidates Theresa Boisseau and Stuart Whitlow; state House of Representatives candidates Terry Wilson, Stephen Wyman, Caroline Harris Davila, Jennie Birkholz and John Bucy; and State Board of Education candidates Raquel Saenz Ortiz and Tom Maynard.
