“Our Children Aren't Safe”: Uvalde Families Make Last Push for Gun Reform Ahead of the Midterms
But with more than 1 million votes already cast in Texas, Uvalde families who have been most outspoken since the May 24 attack are facing an uphill climb for bigger shakeups on Election Day, including a change in governor.
Democrats have hoped outrage in Texas over the latest in a grim series of mass shootings would rouse voters to the polls. Through Thursday, turnout was so far lower than 2018 levels in the state’s largest counties, which also have the heaviest concentration of Democratic votes. Another week of early voting is still ahead.
School safety is still an issue for voters, he said. “But it doesn’t necessarily translate to, ‘Let’s tighten gun restrictions.’ It appears that it is more, ‘We’ve got to protect where we’re sending our kids.’ It’s kind of a nuanced response,” Langston said. Families of the victims have kept the pressure on Col. Steve McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety,. Two officers have been fired, others are under investigation, and Uvalde’s school superintendent abruptly announced his retirement this month.
