Bay Area Houston

If I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet I would not be more surprised.

CCISD voters made a huge statement last Saturday and rejected partisan politics in our schools by soundly beating Trustee Scott Bowen and his recruit, Joe Machol. They beat back Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies. I bet the voucher bill signed on elected day contributed to these defeats. Bowen authored the Voucher Bill resolution for the Texas Republic Party. CCISD was not alone in taking a stand against extremists.

Mansfield ISD defeated 3 MAGA incumbents including the President and Secretary by large margins. In Katy ISD James Cross crushed the sitting MAGA President Victor Perez. “Perez, an outspoken conservative, has led the charge for banning books since taking office.” (Houston Chronicle) In Keller ISD (see background here) MAGA Trustee Micah Young decided not to run and for good reason. He would have been crushed. He was funded by the right wing Patriot Mobile PAC with $50,000. MAGA incumbent, Tammy Nakamura, funded by Patriot Mobile was defeated in Grapevine Colleyville ISD. Patriot Mobile spent $70,000 on her race.

Patriot Mobile has spent an outrageous amount of money on their candidates. Two lost. One resigned. Maybe parents, teachers, and taxpayers have had enough of dark money in school boards.

Maybe.
