Lubbock’s robust HD84 race | Tx Tribune’s story on few “diverse” Dem candidates isn’t what it seems | SBOE & textbooks – Pratt on Texas 11/18/2021

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Don’t be fooled by the Texas Tribune’s reporting on what seems Texas Democratic Party hypocrisy on “diversity.” If it were a straight story it would have run when filing closed. Instead it’s a story from the AOC-style Left to try and get more “diverse”candidates to file in the primary. Also, it is another in a long line of stories that make it seem that Republicans are just getting serious about outreach to minorities in the last few years. The Texas GOP has been working hard on such, not always very well I’ll admit, since the late 1980’s and heavily since the early 1990’s. Also, Fifth in Texas House seniority, Rep. Garnet Coleman (HD147) has announce that he will not run again. That makes 23 House members not running for reelection.

David Glasheen

Lubbock’s race for HD84 could be the most robust race the city’s seen since retiring state Rep. John Frullo orginally ran. Self-described “pro-life, pro-liberty Republican” David Glasheen held a well attended campaign launch this week ensuring a race between strong candidates who are both military veterans.

 

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Texas State Board of Education making right moves on “health” textbooks but many on the Left, including the media, are purposefully confusing health books with materials on sex education which is a separate issue under Texas law.
