The Comal County Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) held a forum for Texas House District 73 candidates, Democrat Merrie Fox, PhD, and Incumbent Republican Carrie Isaac, on Oct. 5, to discuss their platforms on public education.

Isaac was not in attendance due to a scheduling conflict, but provided a statement outlining her priorities.

Fox is a retired educator and spent 31 years as a coach, teacher and school principal - primarily in Comal ISD.
