About Donna Bahorich

Donna Bahorich has been an integral part of my Senate staff for 5 years serving as my district director. She was key in developing a strong relationship between our office and the education community in our district. She is conservative, hard working, and smart. She shares my view that the more open government is, and the more informed the public is, the better government we will have. She will be an effective leader on the S.B.O.E. who will help shape the future of education in Texas. I'm proud to endorse Donna and ask my fellow conservatives to join me and vote for Donna Bahorich for the State Board of Education, district 6.

Those of you who know my passion for this office know that I would not step down from this seat unless I had complete confidence in someone else to take my place -- someone who shares my same passion for quality and excellence in public education. I have found such an individual in Donna Bahorich, and it is with great enthusiasm that I wholeheartedly endorse Donna for the State Board of Education, District 6. Because Donna has worked closely for years with members of the Legislature, she will know how to keep the lines of communication open between the SBOE and other elected officials. This is essential so that students' best interests are served. Donna is capable, equipped, committed, and passionate about the future of our Texas public school students. Donna Bahorich is fully ready to serve as a member of the Texas State Board of Education, District 6.

Donna's principled and dedicated leadership will be a welcome addition to the State Board of Education. She will oversee the revision of curriculum standards and the adoption of textbooks with the end goal of academic rigor and quality content for our schoolchildren in mind. I look forward to working with her!

A committed conservative, Donna Bahorich is one of the hardest working and most organized people I know, and she will be a true asset to the SBOE. Knowing that a great classic education is a key to success, Donna is dedicated to providing every Texas child with the means to a successful future.

Donna is first and foremost a wife, mom, teacher, and a conservative. She is a leader who is bright, capable, and diligent. Donna is a listener. She always does her homework. Donna will find the best way forward for our children's educational future.

Upon entering the political arena I have found Donna Bahorich to be a tireless and well informed conservative advocate for our community and the great state of Texas.

I am truly excited that Donna is running for State of Texas School Board. She is a clear conservative, with family values, pro-life and a proven record of innovation in getting all tasks done at a level that sets her above most. She has always been there to help and never liked the limelight. She does what she does because she believes in honest government. She does things because she believes in good government. I believe that Terri has done an excellent job, and I am sure Donna will surpass even her record.

Her work with Senator Patrick, a true champion of both public ed and higher ed, gives Donna a unique perspective on the challenges we face in the district and across the state regarding public education. In addition, Donna's commitment and support of our party's platform plus her understanding of the need for education reform, including financing, are other reasons for my support.

Donna will be a tremendous asset to the SBOE. As an outstanding conservative, she will be welcomed. I am very glad to see her in the race.

Donna will bring her conservative values, deep knowledge, and warm personality to the State Board of Education. The Board, schools, parents, teachers, and the community at-large can be confident that Donna will make decisions based on Texas values.

What can I say about Donna that has not been said before? She is indeed a Conservative who is always volunteering and working while smiling. She is always very knowledgeable about the issues and facts. She has been a great example to me for her great energetic attitude about every project she has ever encountered. Her positive spirit about the solutions to today's problems and her wisdom in finding options to the problems are well suited to this new endeavor of State Board of Education. She knows the various options to good education and this outside the box thinking will help the State Board of Education find solutions to provide Texas with the best public education in the nation.

My wife and I wholeheartedly endorse Donna for the State Board of Education.

Donna has the hard working, passionate, conservative will, drive, and know-how to serve for the future of our Texas students.

I am confident that Donna will take the baton from Terri and continue to bring victory to the conservative cause in SBOE6.

I am delighted to endorse Donna for the State Board of Education. I know that she will continue to fight for the conservative values and truths we hold so dear. I thank Donna for her willingness to give of herself for such an important job.

Donna is the quintessential political Energizer Bunny. I've never seen any job too big or too hard that she couldn't take head-on and master it with her organizational skills, leadership, and positive approach. No one can out-work Donna. She is a team-builder and the embodiment of all the conservative principles in our Republican Platform. I heartily endorse her candidacy.

A strong, conservative SBOE is one of Texas' most powerful weapons for rescuing and preserving exceptionalism in America--through what our children and grandchildren are taught - Donna is able and prepared to join the ranks of our staunch conservative SBOE warriors! Thank you, Donna!

Donna is the most spectacular of people. She convincingly sets people at ease, because they understand she genuinely cares about their opinions as well as the issues she represents. I know of no one who could enter the lion's den that awaits her who could tame the opposition. She has earned her right to be heard by her faithful service to the senate district served by Dan Patrick. Not only did she represent us in the Houston office, but she has lived in Austin to get a closer look at the intricacy of the inter-working agencies. As a parent, she has faced the importance of a quality education for her family. While I have endorsed the prior occupant and appreciated her diligence, I am excited to see Donna take up the burden.

I have known and worked with Donna for 6 years in her position as District Director for Senator Dan Patrick. I have the highest respect for her. Donna has a passion for education, is professional and personable, and is a strong collaborator and communicator. I fully support Donna and am grateful that she’s willing to serve on the SBOE.
