Has Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Given Up on Controlling CCISD?

I think so.

Both incumbents Arturo Sanchez and Jamieson Mackay have retained their seats on the CCISD School Board. Arturo absolutely hammered his opponent, Gabriel Gutierrez who was recruited by former Trustee Scott Bowen. He lost 1122 to 209. That was an incredible ass whipping. Jamieson beat Ernest A. Hallman II by 458-190. This is the first election for many years where outside of the district money was not a factor.

In previous elections Scott Bowen raised money from a PAC called Defend Texas Liberty. They were funded by two billionaires out of Dallas until the leadership was caught with Nick Fuentes, a holocaust denier. They have since changed the PAC name to  Texans United for a Conservative Majority. This year there was no outside money and that was good. Maybe the partisan attack on our school board is finally over.

CCISD School Board is not a place for partisan politics or unlimited money from billionaires who are outside of the district. With Scott off the board and Sanchez and Mackay returning our board continues to be out of the news and moving forward on behalf of the students, teachers, parents, and tax payers.

And that is good!
