Big win for school choice in Texas
|
 [Washington Examiner] Texas voters delivered a stinging rebuke on Tuesday to incumbent Republicans who stonewalled Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) efforts to enact school choice in the Lone Star State. It is a message Republicans everywhere should hear.
In the primary races for seats in the Texas House of Representatives, 10 Republican incumbents who helped block school choice legislation were either defeated outright or now face a runoff election.
The results are a vindication for the governor, who took the unusual step of endorsing challengers to sitting lawmakers of his own party. Next year, Texas will probably become the most populous in the nation with universal school choice.
The margin by which many lawmakers lost is a warning from voters that others in Republican-controlled states should heed. Voters will no longer tolerate GOP legislators who do the bidding of American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and other union leaders. They need to understand that parents will henceforth refuse to let their children be enslaved in failing public schools. They demand educational freedom, as they should.
In Texas House District 60, incumbent state Rep. Glenn Rogers was obliterated by challenger Mike Olcott by 26 points. In House District 11, longtime incumbent state Rep. Travis Clardy received a meager 37% as his opponent, Joanne Shofner, romped to victory with 63%.
