And now the rest of the story.
The Houston Chronicle wrote about Bridget Wade fundraising totals. Wade is seeking her second term on the Houston Independent School Board and is probably in lock step with the State appointed and very unpopular superintendent. The Chronicle didn’t get into the details of her report but I will.
Wade raised $75,115. 61% of her total funds, $45,832, was donated by 9 individuals. You can see the list below. $14,000 came from 14 individuals donating $1000 leaving $15,832 donated by those giving less than $1000.
At least she hasn’t received money from the two Texas billionaires or from Patriot Mobile. I remember when running for a school board position required a few thousand dollars, a few signs, and some push cards. Voters usually had a choice between two or more well qualified candidates. It was always a win for the school district. Now it has become a partisan shit show with money pouring in from white wing MAGAts, billionaires, and PACs. It’s sad and has resulted in controversies such as Keller ISD, CCISD, Katy ISD, and others.
BTW CCISD is now back to normal after voters ousted the individual responsible for the chaos.
