Texas GOP Gears Up To Contend For Local Elections

(Austin, TX) — Texas Republicans are getting more involved in local races around the state, including city and school board elections.

The state Republican Party announced this week, the formation of a new Local Government Committee that will work with county parties to back candidates in local elections. School board elections in particular have become heated over mask mandates and the teaching of critical race theory.

Recent victories such as the mayor’s race in McAllen, and school board elections in Carroll ISD, have the state GOP wanting more.
