Gov. Abbott bombs GOP Texas House districts with pro voucher texts prompting former Speaker Phelan to say he is undecided
"Right now, my focus is on listening to my constituents, understanding the potential impact on our communities, and ensuring that any decision I make reflects the best interests of families and students,” said Phelan, whose district office was getting inundated with calls from voters against it
Even
though he claims to have the votes already, Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign
is firebombing GOP primary voters across the state with text messages
encouraging them to call their Texas House members in support of
school vouchers.
"This
is Governor Greg Abbott. Please contact your State Representative Cody
Harris to thank him for supporting my school choice plan," reads one
of the text messages to voters in parts of East Texas. "My plan empowers
parents to choose the best pathway for their child's education."
Then
the voter is asked to call and email Rep. Harris. Other districts where the
texts were received included the ones represented by Mike Olcott, former
Speaker Dade Phelan, and more.
