their dreams of college,” Edwards said. “For
other students, it has forced them to work
longer hours or sometimes even balance two
jobs along with a full load of class.”
Edwards said he was worried that Wohl
gemuth wanted to export her work in Texas
to the rest of the nation.
“1 would argue that under-funding public
education and pricing higher education out
of the reach of middle and low-income stu
dents is wrong for Texas and wrong for our
country,” Edwards said.
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

Speaker of the Student Senate, 1
Renfrew, a senior management major,

“The kind of vision initiative andr
ity Representative Wohlgemuth has>:
in the Texas Legislature is rare," Rer
said. “Those qualities will help her'
