Hunter is against school vouchers.

"I’m an educator and the voucher thing is driving me crazy — it’s not good for education or teachers," he said.

Hunter strongly opposes the idea of vouchers in Texas because he says the current allotment won’t cover the full cost of most private schools.

"We’re still not taking kids that may need something and putting them in another area, we’re still not accomplishing that goal," he says. "So they’re gonna be best served in public education that is well funded."
