Frisco, Plano, McKinney rejected conservative school board push Votes suggest North Texas’ politics is shifting

It would be wrong to say that the dust has settled from the May 6 municipal elections, since there was never much dust kicked up in the first place.

But something important happened that you might have missed, and it signals a shift in our politics in the region.

You had to be paying close attention to school board races in Frisco, Plano and McKinney to catch it. But, in a nutshell, voters in those cities rejected candidates who represent a conservative movement aimed at taking control of local government offices, and especially school boards, in the suburbs.

In Frisco, it was the defeat of candidates Reed Bond and Susan Kershaw, both of whom had the backing of Patriot Mobile Action, a political committee devoted to challenging what it calls Marxist policies and critical race theory teaching in public schools.

I lived in Plano 35 years and it was ultra conservative back then.

You are right!!! I’m from a blue state, am Christian conservative. I worry about this bc this is what liberal progressives do - contaminate red states - and residents of the red states don’t realize it until it’s too late. They run for school boards, commissions, local offices....any place they can infiltrate. If Texans don’t pay attention, you will wake up one morning and be living under their thumb.

They’ll leave after they destroy the area. Liberal locusts always do.

If you wake up one morning and both neighbors have “BETO” signs in their yard, then you know it is finished.

I believe the goal of the current immigration policies as well as the fact that the current govt is not securing our borders
(a nation without borders is not a nation - it’s just a place)
is to massively change the demographics of our country.

“They run for school boards, commissions, local offices....any place they can infiltrate.”

My very small community in FL has just been taken over by the worse of the worse Progressives that exist by beating a 20 year mayor and a councilman. They now OWN all the votes they need in the city. There is a concerted effort in communities all over FL to run and take small city offices, school boards and any elected position that can be infiltrated.

From what I’ve seen (this area is my home, btw) is that these “conservative” candidates are more like fringe far right candidates. One particular one that was running in Allen had the support from the conservatives but couldn’t be honest and mishandled campaign funds. That’s a problem and likely the reason she lost. The guy that won IS a conservative ... voting records prove it ... but the team behind the losing candidate was talking bad about him from day one. That kind of crap loses votes.

Still mostly red congressional districts. I’m not privy to all the races to know what specifically was lost

Asian Indian Americans are probably the most Hard Left voters of all major USA immigrant groups.

80% voted to reelect Obama in 2012.

78% voted to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I have searched for 2020 numbers, but they are all behind pay walls.

Pew Research usually publishes a free comprehensive survey of immigrant voting, but I have not seen that if it is out.

I live in a heavily Asian Congressional District.

A couple mid-term elections ago, a Socialist Party candidate beat the Republican candidate in our "Top Two" primary!

Our incumbent Democrat Representative is the absurdly named "Adam Smith."

That India influx will do to Texas what it’s done to California politics.

Third world immigrants believe in “who not what” politics.

That means they vote for anything that helps their “tribe” and could not care less about the society as a whole.

The result is that civilization collapses while everybody fights over the spoils.

Everywhere. GA, FL, etc. There is a billion of them and they are busy pouring into every corporate center in the country. We’ll see if they push the democrat over the finish line during today’s mayoral election in Jacksonville.
