Bay Area Houston

This happened just days after a crushing defeat of two highly partisan candidates for the CCISD School Board, Trustee Bowen and Joe Machol.

According to the Houston Chronicle article “Far-right school board candidates rejected right-wing school board candidates” the far-right extremist 1776 PAC from New York got it’s ass kicked in last weeks elections. It’s a good read and maybe shows that parents, teachers, and tax payers have had enough of partisan politicians infecting our schools. According to the article:

Major political action committees, including the 1776 PAC, True Texas, Patriot Mobile and Mom’s for Liberty, saw their preferred candidates lose even in conservative areas of Texas. 

I’ve written about the 1776 PAC back in 2024 when they endorsed CCISD Trustee Jeff Larson. This is an extreme far right organization supported by Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro. CCISD Trustee Jeff Larson is/was on their list of endorsements. The PAC has since removed any mention of their endorsement of Larson on their website. In 2024 many received texts paid for by the PAC proudly endorsing Larson. They posted their endorsement on their Facebook page. He won. How much they spent helping Larson win is hard to determine but you can peruse the data at Open Secrets. Most of their funding came from areas outside CCISD.

This PAC did not meddle in the 2025 CCISD election, in fact, besides the Harris County Republic Party no outside partisan organizations tried to sway voters in our last election. Besides Trustee Bowen spending $20,000 of his own money in his losing effort it was a pretty clean election.

As it should be.
