Dr. Darlene Breaux
One more legislative interview for the week, and it’s one I could have done for the primaries, as it was the highest-profile challenge to a sitting Democrat, which in the end was a success. Dr. Darlene Breaux filed against longtime Rep. Hubert Vo, who was unfortunately not a very visible or active member of the Legislature in recent years. Dr. Breaux is a longtime educator who served as Board President for Alief ISD and a Master Trustee with the Texas Association of School Boards. She also serves as Director of the Texas Education Policy Institute (TEPI) and is the founder of Insight Ed. Consulting. She will now serve as the State Rep in HD149, and I was glad to have the chance to speak with her. Here’s our conversation:
Here’s the transcript, courtesy of Greg Wythe. I have one more interview for this week, and then we’re in the home stretch. Let me know what you think.
