Despite all the hubbub about vouchers and the attorney general’s impeachment, it’s still about the border.
Texas Republican state House ads touting the border as a central election issue. Clockwise, from top left: Mark LaHood, challenger for House District 121; Joanne Shofner, challenger for House District 11; Chris Spencer, challenger for House District 1; and Gary VanDeaver, House District 1 incumbent.Turn on the TV in northeast Texas, and it would be hard to guess it has become a battleground in the GOP war over school vouchers.
Pro-voucher groups say the argument reeks of desperation. Abbott’s chief strategist, Dave Carney, said Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the talking point was “nonsense” and suggested his side already has a counterargument. Abbott has spent the past month crisscrossing the state to stump for House incumbents and challengers he has endorsed in the wake of the defeat of his school voucher plan. And while he mentions the plan briefly in his stump speeches, it is often his national-headline-making efforts on the border that get more words — and crowd reaction.
“For people who oppose us on school choice, we will use the issues that are most important to voters to communicate our preference,” Linbeck said.
