Different name. Same game.
CCISD Trustee had the ear of the PAC Defend Texas Liberty. They were funded by two billionaires in Dallas, Timothy Dunn and Farris Wilks and featured in an investigative report by CNN. That PAC eventually folded after their leadership was caught meeting with a known white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Bowen’s association with this group and others was so disturbing I spoke at a board meeting detailing his involvement. You can read the details here.
But Defend Texas Liberty is back. Again. This time as Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. Same people. Different name. Over the last year TUCM (Tuck-em) raised $9,606,725 with $7,065,000 coming from Dunn, and $1,290,000 from Wilks.
These individuals tried, unsuccessfully, to influence the last CCISD election financing Peter Lauzon’s campaign. He lost. They also donated $5000 to another candidate. She returned the money. Bowen himself received $2000 from them.

[…] He hasn’t returned by calls. CM Machol was recruited by Trustee Scott Bowen to run against Trustee Jessica Cejka. Bowen sits next to her on the Board. This recruitment makes for a great working relationship. Bowen is also up for reelection. I expect Bowen and CM Machol to run as a “coalition” much like what has happened in other districts like Keller ISD which is now in a state of turmoil. I also expect both of their campaigns to be funded by out of district money including from Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies. […]
