Candidates backed by conservative political action committees won their races in Fort Worth area suburban school board races. Patriot Mobile, a Grapevine cellphone company that calls itself “America’s only Christian conservative wireless service provider,” poured $500,000 into a PAC to support candidates in the Carroll, Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller and Mansfield school districts, where the races included debates about critical race theory and what books are on library shelves. Every one of its candidates won, according to unofficial results early Sunday with all vote centers reporting.

Candidates in the Carroll school district backed by Southlake Families PAC — founded by Tim O’Hare, the Republican nominee for Tarrant County judge — won big. The PAC says it “is unapologetically rooted in Judeo-Christian values.” The candidates were also endorsed by True Texas Project, which grew out of the NE Tarrant Tea Party and was recently labeled an anti-government group.

PAC’s are not “the constituents” of the districi, wherever that district is. it is a lobbyist group, who may or may not contain those who vote in A district.

as reported, this PAC meddled in more than one district, therefore it foes speak for the voting constituents, it speaks for itself, and should that preferred candidate win, is beholding to the desires of the PAC, above those of the actual constituents whom he is SUPPOZED TO REPRESENT!!
therefore, at some future moment, the constituents will be phooked by the will of the PAC.
