Here's what some voters browsing the aisles of a Half Price Bookstore in Dallas want to know.
Liz Rick, a grandmother concerned about education:
“Are we going to continue to teach to a standardize test or are we going to have a program that will challenge students' imagination so in the future we’ll have Albert Einsteins.â€
Bethany Walland, a bookstore employee and student struggling to pay for college:
“I want to be a writer, so hopefully one day one of my books will be on these shelves. So how are they going to help me pay for school?â€
Daryl Makalinao, 24, works but can’t afford some basic needs:
“How can you help us find more affordable housing in a good neighborhood without having to be afraid of where you live?â€
Mark Oram of Dallas:
“I would like to hear Greg Abbott’s and Ms. Davis’ response on gay rights. How do they feel about gay marriage?â€
