Vote, and be ready to work alongside TRTA as we head full speed into 2027!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Find Your Polling Place<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov\/MVP\/mvp.do\">Texas Secretary of State\u2019s My Voter Portal<\/a> to check your voter registration status and find election information.<\/p>\n<p>County election offices also publish polling locations and voting hours for early voting and Election Day.

These priorities outline the issues that matter most to Texas public school retirees as we prepare for the 90th Texas Legislative Session.<\/p>\n<p>TRTA does not endorse candidates for political office. We do, however, encourage our members to ask candidates where they stand on issues affecting TRS retirees, public education, and retirement security.<\/p>\n<p>As you research candidates, consider asking questions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>If you are running for the Texas Legislature, what will you do to restore TRS to actuarial soundness and support efforts to improve retirement benefits when financially feasible?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What steps will you take to protect the long-term financial health of TRS and ensure that Texas public school retirees\u2019 retirement security remains a priority?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How will you support Texas public education and the educators who serve our communities?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>TRTA\u2019s legislative priorities can help you evaluate candidates\u2019 positions on issues that directly affect you and your retirement.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00a1Gracias!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Por favor ap\u00f3yanos hoy y\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trta.org\/es\/join-trta\/\">Renueva tu cuota de membres\u00eda<\/a>!
