There were two candidates this March in the GOP primary for the fifth district State...
This year, Gov. Greg Abbott threw his weight behind Loewe, who won and helped the party avert the potentially embarrassing scenario of Morrow as its standard-bearer once again.Under, the name of a candidate is required to be taken from the ballot if that candidate “withdraws, dies, or is declared ineligible on or before the 74th day before election day,” a spokesman from the Secretary of State’s office explained in an email.
So on Saturday Aug. 6, the local GOP offices that encompass the district held a convention, and chose Perla Hopkins to replace Loewe as their candidate for the volunteer position on the 15-member board. Hopkins did not make herself available for an interview for this story, but in an email she described herself as a mom, wife and teacher and said she wants to bring “servant leadership” to the state board. Her campaign materials say her goals include increased communication and transparency, as well as a rejection of “all CRT, indoctrination, obscene, Marxist ideologies & practices.”
The State Board of Education District 5 was once a highly competitive seat, with incumbent Rebecca Bell-Metereau running three times starting in 2009 before she prevailed in 2020.
