The largesse from billionaires Tim Dunn and brothers Farris and Dan Wilks has made its way into local politics across Texas. Courtney Gore, a Republican school board member in Granbury, says it’s part of their strategy to build support for vouchers.
geez. yeah I don’t get why folks do not prioritize local. Its the elections that effect you the most. heck I don’t even have kids but I don’t want my area filled with a bunch of ignorant youths in 5 years.
Plus, it’s where the future national candidates typically get their first experience in elected office.
If you want better candidates in the future “big” elections, make sure to encourage the good ones and ensure the crap ones don’t get on school boards and other local elected positions.
