Wohlgemuth responded that Edwards’ voting record is predominantly liberal, while he claims to be conservative and that it worries her. “I’m sure the policies that propose limited government, individual liberties, free enter prise and traditional family values scare him a lot,” Wohlgemuth said. “The people of this district strongly believe in those principles. This is a conservative district, and people don’t want to be represented by someone who votes with liberals 92 percent of the time.” Edwards accused Wohlgemuth of ignor ing the needs of students, parents and teach ers and making the wrong decisions when it came to education policy. “When it comes to education policy, there is a clear choice in this race,” Edwards said. “I oppose tuition deregulation. She supports it. 1 voted for smaller class sizes in public schools; she has voted ’no' three times.” Wohlgemuth defended her record and said that Edwards did the same things he was at tempting to criticize. “It i$ very disingenuous for Mr. Edwards to be criticizing me for tuition increases as when he himself was in the state senate, cut state funding for Texas State Technical In stitute, a college in this district, while at the same time he raised their tuition,” Wohlge muth said. “Now he is complaining about tuition deregulation. I have worked very hard so that the students of Texas A&M have access to an affordable, quality education.” Speaker Pro Tempore of the Stude ate Philip Shackleford, a junior politii ence and history major spoke on Ed behalf, chastising the Legislature 1 der-funding higher education and ac Wohlgemuth of being an enemy ofst “Tuition deregulation directs higher lion down a path of irresf vonsible nr that will limit opportuni ty for hai students and families,” Sf lacklcford need to see budgeting pri ority for h cation instead of budget i cuts.
