@KenPaxtonTX
in one race. See the list below ⬇️
BREAKING: Texas House District 12 Republican Primary:
Travis Clardy:* 37%
Joanne Shofner: 63%
Clardy was a 12-year incumbent and opposed school choice.
Shofner was endorsed by my organization's school choice super PAC.
Joanne Shofner is pro-school choice and strongly believes parents should have the right to send their kids to the school of their choice using their own taxpayer dollars.
I am deeply honored to receive
@GregAbbott_TX
endorsement for my campaign for State Representative in District 11. I am committed to working alongside Gov. Abbott to defend our southern border, advocate for school choice for TX families, and protect the integrity of our elections
A new independent ranking was released last week and, out of 84 Republicans in the Texas House, Travis Clardy ranked 59th because of his liberal voting record.
Our community deserves a conservative state representative that represents our values.
I am honored to receive this prestigious endorsement from President Trump. It’s rare to see President Trump endorse in a race like this, but it shows how important this election is--there is only one week until Election Day, and I am working hard to earn your vote.
Holy smokes. Here’s anti-school choice TX Rep Travis Clardy

calling a superintendent of a public school district and pressuring him to advise his staff to support his re-election. Illegal.
Travis also received funding from teachers unions.

Even after overwhelming support in his district for school choice, my opponent, Travis Clardy, still doubles down and gives a vote to his Randi Weingarten union donors rather than for his constituents.
BREAKING: Texas Rep. John Raney ("R") filed an amendment to remove school choice from House Bill 1 today
He's not seeking reelection.
5 of the others who signed on were endorsed by Randi Weingarten’s union
These Texas House "Republicans" are doing the bidding of the Democrats.
